HF Broadcasting planning Software WPLOTF2000
WPLOTF32/WPLOTF2000/WPLOT2000EX was designed by Norbert Schall.
The software is freeware, just drop me a line to obtain the password needed for the installation.
The aim of the program initially was to show different maps and map-sections. But, as time passed, the additional features that have been implemented into the program carried far beyond this primary target.
The most important change in the program had been the implementation of a database that can be used as a basis for the display of different configurations.
This program package can now work with direct input of transmitter data
or
Data derived from an imported database.
- The Databases to be imported, can be in HFCC- or ILG-Format
- All data can be edited and saved in HFCC-Format
The program enables the user to create a graphical display of scheduling data, thus providing comprehensive information about possible interference problems. Additionally the REC533 Field strength calculation is included in this package to have a quick look on the performance of different configurations.
If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to contact me.
Basic features of the Program
- Database operation with HFCC –data
- Database operation with ILG –data
- Create data selections to analyse interference the situation
- Create data selections to find free channels
- Include adjacent channels into database selection
- Real time display of transmitters on the air
- Capability to load, edit and save in HFCC data format
- Display of transmitter configurations from a database selection
- Store different configurations
- Display of transmitter configurations from a pseudo band scan based on the different databases
- Map overlays for Grey-line , languages, towns, great circle paths, CIRAF Zones, Time zones etc.
- Fast map display due to pre-drawn maps
- Fast change of transmitter parameters
- REC533 calculations Point to Point and Point to Area (Contours)
- Interference calculations and contours
- Create own contours for overlays like satellites, MW- transmitters
- On-line display as the cursor moves over the map (distance, azimuth, Lat, Lon, Local time)
- Versatile configuration options for the program
- Azimuthal equidistant display
- Capture map display to clipboard to include in presentation programs, print it or save it to a BMP-file
