Why this can become a daily tool
The path planner is deliberately transparent: it is a practical ranking model, not a guaranteed ionospheric forecast. It combines NOAA Kp/F10.7, path distance, approximate local solar time at both ends and actual recent radio activity observed by the Hub. You can immediately verify every recommendation through Live and SDR.
The ranking changes with solar conditions, time of day and observed activity, so there is a real reason to return before each operating session.
