ML Integration:
- Load trained model at app startup, cache compiled predict fn in persistent_term
- Grid worker uses batched ML prediction (10K chunks) when model loaded,
falls back to algorithm scorer when not
- ML score replaces composite, algorithm factor scores preserved for detail view
- Fix process explosion: single EXLA call per chunk instead of per-grid-point
QSO Features:
- Callsign search (ILIKE on station1/station2) with trigram indexes
- Reciprocal QSO grouping (same pair, same band, same hour)
- Wider layout (max-w-7xl) for data table pages
- QSO Training Data link on map page
Infrastructure:
- Re-enable hourly propagation grid worker in dev
- Track ML model weights in git for Docker builds
- Add btree indexes on qsos (timestamp, band, distance_km)
- Remove nav icons from layout header
- point_detail response includes forecast array (score per valid_time)
- SVG sparkline shows score trend across all forecast hours
- Trend indicator: Improving/Declining/Steady based on first vs last score
- Add covering index (band_mhz, lat, lon, valid_time) INCLUDE (score) for
point_forecast queries
- HrrrClient.hrrr_url accepts forecast_hour param (wrfsfcfHH.grib2)
- PropagationGridWorker fetches all 19 forecast hours per run
- Propagation.scores_at/3 queries scores at specific valid_time
- Propagation.available_valid_times/1 returns all forecast times for timeline
- Pruning keeps scores with valid_time >= now - 2h (forecast-aware)
- MapLive: select_time event, timeline data pushed to JS
- JS: forecast timeline bar at bottom of map with clickable hour buttons
- PubSub broadcast sends list of valid_times instead of single time
- Add phx-update="ignore" to detail-panel so LiveView patches don't wipe it
- Re-request point_detail after scores update to refresh with new data
- Range circles persist across updates since they're on a separate layer
- Viewshed uses propagation score to set max range (ducting/NLOS distance)
- Terrain checked within radio horizon; clear paths get full atmospheric range
- Detail panel moves from map popup to sidebar for better visibility
- Panel shows instantly on click with loading state
- Dark opaque background for readability over map
- Factor analysis section explains each score with contextual descriptions
Replace generic range circles with actual LOS coverage polygon computed
from SRTM elevation data. Casts 180 rays (every 2 degrees) from the
clicked point, runs Fresnel/diffraction analysis on each, and renders
the reachable area as a Leaflet polygon.
- Viewshed module with haversine forward, terrain sweep, async compute
- Antenna height control (default 8 ft) in map panel
- LiveView start_async/handle_async for non-blocking computation
- Remove signal icon from band selector
algo.md was read at runtime via File.read! but isn't included in
the release. Use @external_resource + compile-time module attribute
to bake the HTML into the module.
- Add enqueue_for_qso/1 to directly enqueue weather/HRRR/terrain/IEMRE
jobs for a single user-submitted QSO (no cron, no bulk processing)
- Submit flow calls enqueue_for_qso instead of generic enqueue worker
- Add enrichment queues to prod config for on-demand processing
- Guard against HRRR fill values in store_hrrr_profiles (fixes badarith)
- Filter QSOs without pos2 in build_terrain_jobs
- Document Finding 11: regional QSO performance by Maidenhead field
- Explain why regional weight adjustments are not justified
- Fix algo.md table formatting (blank lines before tables for Earmark)
- Change page title from Phoenix Framework to North Texas Microwave Society
- Remove factors from heatmap scores, fetch on-demand via point_detail
- Pre-encode initial scores JSON once instead of per-render
- Don't store scores in socket assigns (reduce memory)
- Pre-calculate RGBA color lookup table for canvas rendering
- Batch fillStyle changes, hoist math out of inner loop
- Show topbar immediately on data requests (no 300ms delay)
- Port grid square rendering from gridmap-web with toggle control
- Consolidate band selector, grid toggle, data timestamp, and links
into unified control panel
- Add "How this works" (/algo) and "Submit a QSO" (/submit) links
- Add back-to-map link on algo page
- Darken range circles for visibility over propagation overlay
- Fix popup blocking double-click zoom with pointer-events passthrough
- Prevent control panel from intercepting map click/scroll events
- Scores now include factors and valid_time in the viewport query,
eliminating the server round-trip for popups
- Click shows two range circles: solid inner (typical range) and
dashed outer (max estimated range), colored by score tier
- Circles disappear when popup closes
- Band info pushed to client on band switch for accurate range estimates
Click anywhere on the propagation map to see a detailed popup with:
- Overall score and tier label with color
- Estimated range for the selected band (CW mode)
- All 9 scoring factors with visual bar charts, individual scores,
and weight percentages
- Grid point coordinates and data timestamp
Factors are displayed in weight order so users can immediately see
which atmospheric conditions are driving the prediction.
The JS hook sends map bounds on load and on pan/zoom. The server
queries only scores within those bounds, dramatically reducing the
payload for band switches and map updates. At zoom 7 (DFW area)
this sends ~2k scores instead of ~95k.
Vendor Leaflet 1.9.4 (JS, CSS, marker images) and wire it into
the esbuild/Tailwind asset pipeline. Create MapLive with band
selector buttons, auto-refresh, and a colocated JS hook that
renders propagation scores as color-coded circle markers with a
legend. Stub Propagation context and BandConfig modules provide
the data interface for the scoring pipeline.
Add nav bar with links to Map, QSOs, and Submit pages.
- Defensive grid-to-coordinate resolution in create_qso (case instead of crash on match failure)
- Log warning when Oban weather enqueue fails instead of silently dropping
- Add 30s per-session submission cooldown to prevent rapid-fire submissions
20 attempts with exponential backoff capped at 6 hours ensures
data is eventually fetched even during extended rate limiting or
API outages (~3 days of retrying before giving up).
Maidenhead grid module converts grid squares to lat/lon coordinates.
Submission form validates grids, bands, modes, and email, computes
positions and distance, then triggers the weather/HRRR/terrain
processing pipeline via Oban.
Fetch elevation data along the path between two stations via the
Open-Meteo Elevation API (with Open-Topo-Data fallback), compute
Fresnel zone clearance, earth bulge, and knife-edge diffraction loss,
and store the results per QSO.
- terrain_profiles table with migration and TerrainProfile schema
- ElevationClient with batched API calls and fallback
- TerrainAnalysis with Fresnel/diffraction physics (ITU-R P.526-15)
- TerrainProfileWorker on Oban :terrain queue
- QsoWeatherEnqueueWorker enqueues terrain jobs automatically
- QSO show page displays verdict badge and collapsible elevation table
- Reorder show page: terrain, soundings, solar, HRRR, surface obs
- Fix Dockerfile wgrib2 build (add cmake dependency)
HRRR provides hourly 3km-resolution atmospheric profiles, filling the
temporal gaps (12-hourly soundings) and spatial gaps (only 9 sounding
stations) in our current weather data.
- Add hrrr_profiles table and hrrr_queued flag on QSOs
- HrrrClient fetches GRIB2 data via HTTP Range requests + wgrib2
- HrrrFetchWorker derives refractivity/ducting params via SoundingParams
- QsoWeatherEnqueueWorker now also enqueues HRRR jobs
- QSO show page displays HRRR section with collapsible profile
- Dockerfile builds wgrib2 from source for production
Fix pos1 longitude key mismatch (lng vs lon) that caused empty weather
results for all QSOs. Bump search radius to 300km for sounding coverage.
Soundings now show as expandable cards with full elevation profile data.
