Adds a tabbed UI with single-contact form and CSV upload. Users can
download a sample CSV, upload their file, and get partial import with
per-row error reporting. Enrichment jobs enqueue for each imported contact.
- Text summary explaining likely propagation mechanism (ducting,
enhanced refraction, diffraction, troposcatter) based on terrain,
HRRR, and sounding data
- 10-factor scoring table with per-factor notes, weights, contributions
- Composite score with tier badge
- Grid squares added back to path info line
- Analysis positioned between elevation chart and terrain profile
- Mark duct closest to endpoint elevations as likely signal path
- Likely duct drawn with solid borders, bold label, stronger fill
- Other ducts shown dimmed with dashed borders
- Fix path info layout: table columns prevent El wrapping
- Surface observations as compact table, limited to 5 nearest stations
- Use all HRRR profiles along path (start, mid, end) for duct detection
- Fall back to sounding ducts when HRRR too coarse to detect layers
- Merge overlapping ducts, show top 3 strongest with source labels
- Limit surface observations to 5 closest stations along path
- Compact solar conditions as inline row
- Compact band/mode/distance info line
- Fix button text to "Flag as Invalid"
- Overlay HRRR duct layers on elevation profile chart (green bands)
- Add flagged_invalid field to contacts with toggle button on detail page
- Fix prune_old_grid_profiles to only delete 0.125° grid profiles,
preserving QSO-linked HRRR data at arbitrary positions
- Auto-enqueue HRRR fetch when viewing contact without HRRR data (<48h)
- Compact solar conditions and contact details layout
- Add band/mode/distance info line to elevation profile section
- Leaflet map on contact detail pages showing both station locations
- SRTM elevation profile with Chart.js: terrain, LOS, Fresnel zone
- Path info: distance, azimuth, elevation angle in both directions
- Compact 4-column grid layout for contact details
- Contact map page with all contacts plotted
- Rename QSOs to Contacts in page header
- Wrap algo page in standard layout
- All menus and UI text now say Contacts instead of QSOs
- Add 68, 122, 134, 241 GHz bands to submit form and validation
- Add info box on submit page explaining why contacts matter
- Larger submit button with icon
- Make HRRR partition migration idempotent for partial re-runs
Rename all modules, functions, variables, routes, and UI text from
qso/qsos to contact/contacts. Database table stays as "qsos" to avoid
migration. Add /qsos -> /contacts redirects for old URLs.
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.
