SD>Hi Matt,

SD>MJ> First, I'll share the script with anyone who might want it (it's in
SD>MJ> PowerShell)

SD>You can share it in here, but perhaps a link to it at the bottom of your
SD>daily HF conditions post would be good also.  I'd like to convert it to a
SD>bash script since my BBS runa under Slackware Linux.

SD>MJ> Second, if I can figure out how to send an echo message from the command
SD>MJ> line, does anything (moderator?) think there is any benefit to posting
SD>MJ> it once a day here?  We do have the detailed space weather message.

SD>I'm the moderator and I post the space weather every three days using a
SD>special bash script I wrote.  I don't mind having the daily HF conditions
SD>posted in here at all and thank you for asking!

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the info....  Someone else suggested posting more then once a
day as condition change (and the prediction data is updated hourly) but
hourly is too frequent IMHO.  Maybe twice a day?

The site is https://hamqsl.com and the guy who runs it is Paul N0NBH.

My chart looks like this:

Solar Band Conditions as of 08-13-2026 09:06 local (08-13-2026 14:06
UTC)

--------------------------------------
Band         Day        Night
--------------------------------------
12m-10m      Poor       Poor
30m-20m      Good       Good
17m-15m      Fair       Fair
80m-40m      Fair       Good
