+# Fetch contacts dataset
+
+The NTMS microwave propagation service publishes its full amateur-radio contact (QSO) calibration dataset as a single public JSON endpoint. No authentication is required.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```
+GET https://prop.w5isp.com/api/contacts/map
+```
+
+The response is pre-gzipped when the client sends `Accept-Encoding: gzip` (roughly 1 MB compressed, 5 MB decompressed). Cached at the origin for 60 s.
+
+## Response shape
+
+A single JSON array where each element is a fixed-length tuple:
+
+```
+[lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, band_mhz, callsign1, callsign2, mode, distance_km, qso_timestamp_iso8601, id_uuid]
+```
+
+- `lat1/lon1` and `lat2/lon2` are the two station locations (WGS84 degrees).
+- `band_mhz` is an integer in MHz (e.g. `1296`, `10000`, `24000`).
+- `callsign1/callsign2` are uppercase amateur callsigns or `null` if unknown.
+- `mode` is a string (`CW`, `SSB`, `FT8`, …) or `null`.
+- `distance_km` is a number or `null`.
+- `qso_timestamp_iso8601` is `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ`.
+- `id_uuid` is the stable UUID for the contact; fetch details at `/contacts/{id_uuid}`.
+
+## Machine-readable specs
+
+- OpenAPI 3.0 spec: `GET /openapi.json`
+- API catalog (RFC 9727): `GET /.well-known/api-catalog`

+# Read propagation algorithm documentation
+
+The scoring algorithm for amateur-radio microwave propagation (902 MHz – 241 GHz) is documented in long-form markdown, covering factor weights, band-specific configurations, ITU-R atmospheric models, and calibration dataset composition.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+```
+GET https://prop.w5isp.com/algo
+```
+
+The default response is HTML. Send `Accept: text/markdown` to receive the raw markdown source directly:
+
+```
+GET https://prop.w5isp.com/algo
+Accept: text/markdown
+```
+
+Response: `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8`. An `x-markdown-tokens` header gives a rough token-count estimate for context-window planning.
+
+## Content summary
+
+- Scoring methodology: 10 weighted factors combining to a 0–100 composite score per grid point per band.
+- Factor weights (humidity 13.6 %, time of day 5.0 %, T-Td depression 9.8 %, refractivity 10.5 %, sky 8.0 %, season 11.1 %, wind 8.0 %, rain 13.6 %, pressure 10.3 %, PWAT 11.3 %) recalibrated 2026-04-11 via gradient descent against 57,488 tropospheric QSOs.
+- Band-dependent humidity effect: beneficial at 10 GHz (refractivity gradients), harmful at 24 GHz+ (gaseous absorption).
+- ITU-R model references: P.838-3 (rain attenuation), P.526-16 (diffraction), P.676 (gaseous absorption).
+- Terrain analysis: 97.2 % of all analysed QSO paths are terrain-blocked; atmospheric ducting and refraction are the primary enabling mechanisms.
+- Calibration dataset: 58 k+ QSOs, HRRR atmospheric profiles, RAOB soundings, IEMRE gridded observations, SRTM terrain, and commercial link SNMP polling at 11/24/68 GHz.
