The ML model undervalues conditions outside Aug/Sep training data
(e.g. April with excellent factors scored 37/100). Algorithm's
physics-based factors handle unseen seasons correctly.
- Algorithm is primary scorer, ML infrastructure kept for iteration
- Remove unused ML grid worker code path
- Add client-side propagation reach: BFS flood-fill from clicked point
through contiguous cells with score >= 50, drawn as convex hull polygon
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
Score time-of-day per grid point using longitude/15 solar offset instead of
hardcoded CST/CDT. Add PWAT as 10th scoring factor. Refine pressure thresholds.
Update ML model and training pipeline to use local solar time.
- 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
458K-record upsert held a connection for the entire transaction,
exceeding the 15s Postgrex timeout on prod. Set transaction timeout
to infinity and increase prod pool from 10 to 20.
Skip grid points where surface_temp_c or surface_dewpoint_c are
physically impossible (< -80°C or > 60°C). HRRR returns -273.15
(absolute zero) for ocean/missing points which caused division by
zero in absolute_humidity calculation.
- Wrap upsert_scores in Repo.transaction for all-or-nothing visibility
- Prune scores older than the 2 most recent valid_times after each upsert
- Add band-specific latest_valid_time/1 to eliminate N+1 query
- Add require Logger to Propagation module
- 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.
