VOACAP Online just added simple, one‑page planning views that make HF planning faster and more intuitive. Visit www.voacap.com/hf/ and choose Planner from the Point‑to‑Point menu. Suitable for contest & DXpedition strategy planning, or just for regular operating.

VOACAP Online now supports two propagation engines for calculating coverage maps: VOACAP and ITURHFProp. This dual‑engine option is new so you can now compare two different models side by side. All map options, incl. longitudinal midpoint and multiple map projections, are available for both engines.

Fresh update on VOACAP Online HF propagation prediction services: you can now choose your map projection for coverage maps — Cylindrical (default) or Azimuthal Equidistant. Try it now: voacap.com/hf/ See Radio New Zealand’s footprint at 0700 UTC on 9700 kHz, beaming 35° from Rangitaiki.

A fresh update just landed on VOACAP Online for Ham Radio / Marine / SWL: you can now choose your longitudinal midpoint for coverage maps. Until today, every map was locked to 0°, but there’s now a 180° option - finally giving listeners in Australasia and Oceania seamless, wrap‑free coverage views.
