- Register/Log in (or callsign/Settings/Log out) now live next to
the Map/Path/Rover links in the main header instead of a separate
top menu bar
- Add on_mount in UserAuth to assign current_scope on LiveView mount,
and pass current_scope through to Layouts.app from every LiveView
- Drop the old top <ul> from root.html.heex
- Password minimum lowered from 12 to 8 characters
Generated Accounts context, User schema, and controllers via
phx.gen.auth. Adapted it for password-only login with required
email confirmation:
- Users have callsign (unique, uppercased), name, email, password
- Registration form fields: callsign, name, email, password, confirm
- Magic-link login path removed; login is email + password only
- After register, a confirmation email is sent and login is blocked
until the account is confirmed via the token URL
- Confirmation link logs the user in on first use
- SMTP2GO configured as the outgoing mailer in k8s prod
Extract shared Maidenhead grid overlay into maidenhead_grid.js so both
the main map and rover planner use the same implementation. Wire up the
toggle_grid event and checkbox on the rover page matching the main map.
Subtle hint appears in top-right corner (desktop only) when the
detail panel is open. Fades in when panel shows, fades out on ESC.
Hidden on mobile where the X button is more appropriate.
Extract GridSquare class and updateGridOverlay from propagation_map_hook
into shared maidenhead_grid.js module. Rover map now shows the same
zoom-adaptive Maidenhead grid overlay as the main /map page — red
rectangles with labels that switch between field (2-char) and square
(4-char) based on zoom level. Updates on pan/zoom.
Toggle button hides/shows the grid overlay.
New BandConfig entries for 902, 1296, 2304, 3456, 5760 MHz:
- All beneficial humidity effect (like 10 GHz)
- Near-zero gaseous absorption and rain attenuation
- Ranges: 902 MHz typical 400 km, 5760 MHz typical 220 km
- Same seasonal curves as 10 GHz (ducting-driven)
BandConfig.band_options/0 generates dropdown options from configs.
All pages (path, rover, submit) use centralized band_options instead
of hardcoded lists. Map page already used BandConfig.all_bands().
10 GHz remains the default on all pages.
- Toggle button for Maidenhead grid overlay (on by default)
- Coverage candidates now at 0.25° resolution (~28 km) instead of
2°×1° Maidenhead grids, matching HRRR propagation grid density
- Coverage rectangles render as 0.25° cells for finer detail
- Grid overlay is separate from coverage coloring
- Extract scoring logic to Microwaveprop.Rover.Coverage for testability
- Two-phase computation: fast pass (distance + propagation) for all grids,
then SRTM terrain analysis for top 20 candidates only
- Cap search radius to 300 km to keep candidate count reasonable
- Run terrain analysis in Task with rescue/fallback for resilience
- Background Task doesn't block LiveView process
- 5 tests covering: ranked results, empty inputs, station details,
band range differences, field presence
- Add explicit "Calculate Coverage" button instead of auto-triggering
- Move coverage computation to background Task so LV stays responsive
(users can keep adding/removing stations while it computes)
- Remove all auto-compute triggers from station add/remove/band change
- URL loading resolves stations but doesn't auto-calculate
- Button shows "Finding best roving locations..." spinner while computing
Rewrites rover planner to automatically color the map after stations
are entered. No manual stop selection needed — the system evaluates
every Maidenhead grid in range and scores them by:
- SRTM terrain analysis to each station (diffraction loss, LOS verdict)
- HRRR propagation forecast (ducting, refractivity, atmospheric conditions)
- Distance to stations vs band range limits
- Propagation boost: good conditions (score 80+) make blocked paths
viable through ducting, matching the app's core beyond-LOS prediction
Coverage score formula: boosted path quality 30% + propagation 30%
+ distance 20% + station count 20%. Colored grid squares on the map
show best (green) to worst (red) operating positions.
Sidebar shows top 10 grids ranked with: workable station count,
propagation score, best operating hour, 18-hour forecast sparkline.
Click a grid for per-station detail: distance, terrain verdict,
diffraction loss.
URL stores stations + band for sharing: /rover?stations=W5ISP,K5TR&band=10000
Switch from getCurrentPosition (which looped via push_patch) to
watchPosition with a 60-second throttle. Break the server-side
request_gps loop by skipping re-request when coords already exist.
Interactive map-based tool for planning rover operating positions.
Rovers enter stationary stations they want to work, then click the
map to evaluate candidate operating grids.
Features:
- Add stationary stations by callsign or grid square
- Click map to add operating positions (snaps to Maidenhead grid)
- Async SRTM terrain analysis: each stop computes terrain profile
to every station, shows CLEAR/BLOCKED verdict + diffraction loss
- Terrain lines on map: green=workable, red=blocked, dashed=marginal
- Propagation score and 18-hour forecast sparkline per stop
- Route summary: driving distance, unique grid-station pairs
- Band selector affects range limits and propagation scores
- Numbered waypoint markers with score-colored backgrounds
New files:
- Geo module (shared haversine/bearing, used by PathLive too)
- RoverLive with fullscreen map + sidebar
- RoverMap JS hook with grid overlay, station/stop markers, route line
- Nav links in header and map control panel
- "My Location" button with text label (was just an icon)
- Two share buttons after results:
- "Copy Link" — fixed coordinates, exact result
- "Copy Link (use viewer's GPS)" — source=gps, dynamic per viewer
- CopyLink JS hook copies full URL to clipboard with "Copied!" feedback
Bookmarking /path?source=gps&destination=K5TR&band=10000 will use
the viewer's device GPS to resolve the source location on load.
The LocateMe hook handles both button clicks and server-pushed
request_gps events. Once coords are resolved, the URL is updated
with actual lat,lon and calculation runs automatically.
- 18-hour propagation forecast bar chart from grid scores at path midpoint
Shows best/worst score and time, color-coded bars
- URL query params: all form fields reflected in URL, auto-calculates
when source+destination present. Bookmarkable/shareable links.
- phx-change on form updates assigns in real-time as user types
- Removed LiveStash in favor of URL-based state persistence
- TX/RX height in feet (converted to meters for terrain analysis)
- TX power in dBm with mW equivalent display
- TX gain and RX gain (dBi) inputs
- Power budget: TX power + TX gain - feed loss = EIRP - path loss
+ RX gain = RX power vs CW sensitivity = margin
- Loss budget: FSPL + gaseous (O2+H2O) + diffraction + rain
with per-km gas rate detail
- GPS "Locate Me" button using browser geolocation API
- Lat,lon coordinate pairs accepted as input
- Weather displayed in F with C below
- LiveStash preserves form inputs across page reloads
- Terrain cross-section with beam line and Fresnel zone
LiveView page for analyzing microwave propagation between two points.
Features:
- Source/destination input: callsign (via gridmap.org API) or Maidenhead grid
- Band selector for all 8 microwave bands (10-241 GHz)
- Leaflet map showing path line (reuses ContactMap hook)
- Terrain elevation cross-section (reuses ElevationProfile hook)
- Link summary: distance, bearing, terrain verdict
- Loss budget: FSPL + O2 + H2O + rain + diffraction
- Propagation score with 10-factor breakdown
- Current atmospheric conditions from path-integrated HRRR
New CallsignClient for gridmap.org location lookup.
Navigation links added to main navbar and map control panel.
Add sections for all three new data sources in Meteorological
Foundations: path-integrated scoring strategy, ERA5 reanalysis
for pre-2014 contacts, RTMA 15-minute surface analysis. Update
calibration dataset summary with ERA5/RAOB/RTMA coverage.
Enqueues ERA5 fetch jobs for contacts where HRRR is unavailable.
Deduplicates by rounded grid point and hour, skips existing profiles.
Usage: mix era5_backfill [limit]
