Single search bar accepts an address, Maidenhead grid square, or
callsign; resolves it to lat/lon via Geocoder / Maidenhead /
CallsignLocation (cheapest classification first), snaps to the HRRR
grid via the existing ProfilesFile reader, and renders an SVG
Skew-T-Log-P with isobars, skewed isotherms, dry/moist adiabats, and
mixing-ratio lines. A button row picks between every available
forecast hour (now → f18); default is the most recent analysis.
Right pane lists derived stability and refractivity stats from
SoundingParams.derive (PWAT, BL depth, K-index, lifted index, min
dN/dh, ducting status + per-duct base/top/ΔM).
Renderer is server-side SVG so the page works without JS and serializes
into the LiveView payload as a single tag. Wind barbs are deliberately
omitted — HRRR's persisted profile carries wind only at 10 m AGL.
New /eme page — antenna aiming + link budget for moonbounce.
Given a station (callsign / grid / lat,lon), TX power, antenna gain,
detection bandwidth, and system Tsys, the page shows in real time:
- Moon azimuth / elevation from the observer (ticks every 10 s)
- Slant range to the Moon
- EIRP breakdown: TX(dBm) + gain(dBi) = EIRP(dBm)
- Path-loss decomposition (Earth → Moon → Earth):
free-space spreading (×2)
− moon reflection gain 10·log(4π σ / λ²) where σ = ρ·π·R²
= round-trip path loss
- Band-dependent lunar albedo ρ (VHF ≈ 0.065, microwave ≈ 0.08,
mm-wave ≈ 0.02) surfaced as a named line item with the current
ρ shown to three decimals
- Received power, thermal noise floor, and SNR with a badge that
classifies the margin (strong / marginal / below noise)
- Self-echo Doppler shift with its radial-velocity driver
New modules:
- `Microwaveprop.Moon` — low-precision lunar ephemeris
(Astronomical Almanac Sec. D.4 truncated series). Provides
`julian_day/1`, `geocentric/1`, `observer_position/3`, and
`radial_velocity_km_s/3`. Accurate to ~0.3° position / ~200 km
distance — well inside any amateur EME-dish beamwidth.
- `Microwaveprop.Propagation.Eme` — path-loss helpers:
`moon_albedo/1` (band lookup), `moon_rcs_m2/1`,
`fspl_round_trip_db/2`, `moon_reflection_gain_db/2`,
`path_loss_db/3`, `received_power_dbm/1`, `noise_floor_dbm/2`,
`snr_db/1`, `doppler_shift_hz/2`.
Wired into the main nav ("EME" button) and the router between
/path and /rover.
Tests: 3 properties + 41 unit tests cover JD conversion, moon
position envelope, band-dependent albedo lookup, decomposition
identity, linearity/monotonicity of path loss and Doppler, and a
LiveView integration test against the rendered DOM.
Full suite: 2,460 tests + 170 properties; credo strict clean.
Investigated why all three prop pods were restart-looping every few
minutes (RESTARTS counts 7–11 in 99m). The trail:
20:53:33.058 [error] Postgrex.Protocol ("db_conn_10") disconnected:
client (:"Elixir.Microwaveprop.PromEx.Poller.5000") timed out
because it queued and checked out the connection for longer than
15000ms
PromEx's Oban queue-depth poller was scanning the oban_jobs table
every 5s and holding an Ecto connection past its checkout timeout.
That starved the rest of the pool, so /health's `SELECT 1` couldn't
acquire a connection inside the 3s liveness probe timeout, the
kubelet's failureThreshold=3 tripped, and SIGKILL landed on the
BEAM. Every replica cycled on the same cadence.
Two fixes:
1. Split /live (no DB) from /health (DB ping). Kubernetes livenessProbe
now points at /live so a saturated Ecto pool can never cascade into
SIGKILL. Readiness still hits /health so a genuine DB outage drains
the pod from Service endpoints gracefully.
2. Turn off the PromEx Oban plugin in prod via the same flag already
used in test. The queue-depth query isn't worth pod instability;
the oban_web dashboard surfaces the same information without
scanning the job table on a timer.
Locked both down with HealthController tests that verify /live never
touches the Repo (no sandbox owner, controller.live/2 called directly,
200 ok) and /health does (sanity query round-trips).
Wires PromEx with its built-in Application / BEAM / Phoenix / Ecto /
Oban plugins plus a custom `Microwaveprop.PromEx.InstrumentPlugin`
that registers Prometheus histograms for every
`Microwaveprop.Instrument` span (HRRR/NEXRAD/IEM/GEFS/NARR/UWYO
/Elevation fetches, DB batch upserts, terrain analysis, radar
aggregation, propagation score band). Queue-depth gauges from the
10-second poller land at `microwaveprop_oban_queue_count{queue,state}`.
Router forwards `/metrics` to MicrowavepropWeb.MetricsPlug which
optionally requires a bearer token (`PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TOKEN` env var in
runtime.exs); leave it unset to expose metrics publicly and restrict
at the ingress / Cloudflare Access layer instead.
Example external Prometheus scrape config:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: microwaveprop
scrape_interval: 30s
metrics_path: /metrics
scheme: https
authorization:
type: Bearer
credentials: <token>
static_configs:
- targets: ['prop.w5isp.com:443']
Add a "Forgot your password?" flow off the login page. A 24-hour
reset_password token is emailed on request, the landing page lets the
user pick a new password, and all other tokens for the user are
revoked on success.
The request endpoint returns the same flash regardless of whether the
email matches a user so that attackers can't enumerate accounts.
Implements the subset of the isitagentready.com checklist that maps to
real capabilities of this site:
- RFC 8288 Link headers on every browser response advertising
service-doc (/algo), about, privacy-policy, and sitemap.
- Markdown-for-Agents content negotiation: requests with
Accept: text/markdown for / or /algo return real markdown
(curated summary + verbatim algo.md) with x-markdown-tokens hint.
Other paths still 406 — no synthesizing markdown from LiveView HTML.
- Content-Signal directive in robots.txt declaring
search=yes, ai-train=no, ai-input=no.
- RFC 9727 API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog with the sole
public endpoint (/api/contacts/map) linking status -> /health and
service-desc -> /openapi.json (a new minimal OpenAPI 3.0 spec).
- Agent Skills Discovery index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json
listing two skill documents (fetch-contacts, read-algorithm) with
sha256 digests computed at compile time; documents served at
/.well-known/agent-skills/{name}/SKILL.md.
Skipped (don't match actual site capabilities): Web Bot Auth JWKS,
OAuth/OIDC discovery, MCP server card.
SubmitLive now hands off to the async pipeline:
- confirm_csv/confirm_adif → CsvImport.enqueue/2 → push_navigate to
/imports/:id. ADIF preview shape matches CSV, so one enqueue call
serves both.
- allow_upload(auto_upload: false) so bytes only stream when the user
clicks submit. Progress bar + percentage now gated on
entry.progress > 0 and < 100 — invisible during file selection,
only rendered while the actual upload is in-flight.
- Old in-page csv_results / @csv_result / reset_csv removed; the
/imports/:id page replaces them.
New ImportLive at /imports/🆔 subscribes to 'csv_import:<id>' PubSub,
shows total/processed/imported/refined/error counters in a daisyUI
stats grid, progress bar, status badge, and a collapsed errors table
when error_count > 0. Missing or malformed run_id redirects to /submit
with a flash.
7 new frontend tests (5 ImportLive, 2 updated SubmitLive), 1902 total,
credo clean.
- Compat CSS layer (assets/css/live_table_compat.css) maps the
shadcn tokens live_table/sutra_ui use (bg-muted, text-foreground,
border-border, bg-background, select-trigger, input-group, etc.)
onto daisyUI base colors, and provides hand-written component CSS
for select/dropdown/input-group/empty so the table has a proper
surface + a select popover that actually hides when closed.
- Default-sort the Contacts table by most recent inserted_at.
- Beacon detail "Plot path" now encodes lat/lon to an 8-char
Maidenhead grid when coordinates are known, so the destination
handed to the path calculator is more precise than the beacon's
stored 4-char grid.
- Rename BackfillLive -> StatusLive, move route from /admin/backfill
to /status, retitle "Backfill Dashboard" -> "Status", drop the
enqueue form (LiveStash + BackfillEnqueueWorker no longer needed
on this page). Contact edit admin back-link now points at /status.
Profile page:
* New MicrowavepropWeb.UserProfileLive at /u/:callsign is a public
page showing a user's contacts and beacons. Resolves case-
insensitively so /u/w5isp and /u/W5ISP are the same thing; unknown
callsigns redirect to /. Uses daisyUI card / stats / table
components with an avatar-placeholder initial and hero icons.
* Accounts.get_user_by_callsign/1 (case-insensitive) plus
Radio.list_contacts_for_user/1 and Beacons.list_beacons_for_user/1
back the page. Beacons list includes both approved and pending so
owners see their drafts.
* The top nav bar and the three LiveView sidebars (MapLive,
WeatherMapLive, ContactMapLive) now render the logged-in callsign
as a navigate link to /u/:callsign instead of a static label.
* Nine new tests cover the lookup, the LiveView render, and the
ownership-scoped queries.
Flexible band input:
* New Microwaveprop.Radio.BandResolver module converts any of:
ADIF wavelength labels ("33cm", "1.25cm", "6mm", case/whitespace
insensitive), numeric frequency strings ("903.100", "10368.000"),
and canonical MHz integers into the one of the site's known bands.
Returns the nearest allowed band for numeric inputs >= 900 MHz,
nil otherwise.
* 902 MHz is added to Contact.@allowed_bands, ContactEdit.@allowed_bands,
AdifImport.@allowed_bands, and the BandResolver list so "33cm"
round-trips end-to-end.
* AdifImport and CsvImport now delegate band resolution to
BandResolver, and Radio.create_contact/2 normalizes the :band attr
on the way in so the manual form and any API callers benefit too.
CsvImport's "invalid band" tests previously used 99999 MHz which
the new resolver snaps to the nearest allowed band; swapped to
"notaband" which is truly unresolvable.
Contacts and beacons list UX:
* Remove the "Submitted" column from /contacts — it duplicated info
already visible on the detail page and was pushing the real
columns off narrow viewports. submitted_cell/1 and its three
column-specific tests go with it.
* Hide the Lat / Lon columns from /beacons — six decimal places of
coordinates weren't useful next to the grid square and took a
disproportionate amount of row width.
- Add ContactMapController serving /api/contacts/map with pre-gzipped
JSON from Microwaveprop.Cache. Browsers handle Content-Encoding: gzip
natively; payload drops from 5.7 MB raw to 1.5 MB on the wire (73%).
Cache TTL 10 min, invalidated on contact insert alongside the other
contact-map cache keys.
- Move contact map payload out of the LiveView's initial HTML entirely.
Shell renders with the filter chrome (count + band list); the hook
fetches contacts from the HTTP endpoint in parallel with map init.
This also avoids Phoenix.Socket's 64 KB frame limit (push_event would
have required chunked transfer or a global frame size bump).
- Parallelize ContactLive.Show hydrate: five independent DB loads
(weather, solar, hrrr_path, terrain, iemre) now run concurrently via
Task.async + Task.await_many. Total latency drops from sum(each) to
max(each), cutting contact show hydrate time roughly 5x.
Registered users can suggest edits to any contact's core fields
(callsigns, grids, band, mode, timestamp). Edits enter an admin
approval queue with field-by-field diff view. On approve, changes
are applied and enrichment re-enqueued if grids/band changed.
Users receive email notification on approve or reject.
Also updates dependabot.yml for mix ecosystem.
Vendor oban_web 2.12.1 and oban_met 1.1.0 (taken from the
towerops-web2 vendor tree), bump oban to ~> 2.21, and mount the Oban
dashboard at /admin/oban behind the existing require_admin on_mount
hook. Adds an admin-only "Oban" nav link and extends the Dockerfile
to copy vendor/ before deps.get so production builds pick up the
path dependencies.
New PrivacyLive page explains that collected/submitted data is used
only for propagation research and will never be sold, traded, or
disclosed. Layouts.app now renders a small footer with the NTMS
attribution and a Privacy link on every page that uses it, so the
full-screen map pages are untouched. The duplicate NTMS credit on
the About page is removed since it now lives in the shared footer.
- /map now centers on the visitor's Cloudflare geolocation when the
cf-iplatitude/cf-iplongitude headers are present, falling back to DFW.
Initial HRRR score bounds track the chosen center.
- Added /about link to the /map side navigation.
- Renamed "Propagation Map" label to "Propagation Prediction Map" in
the /map page title, sidebars, and the /weather back-link.
- Populated /about with mission, approach, stack, roadmap, and a live
stat grid fed from DB counts (estimates via pg_class.reltuples for
the multi-million-row tables).
- Anonymous users can submit beacons (held pending admin approval)
- Added notes field to beacons (textarea on form, shown on detail page)
- Added Beacons link to /map sidebar nav (mobile + desktop),
removed stale Rover Planner link
- Moved /backfill to /admin/backfill under the admin live_session
- Beacon detail map zooms in two extra levels after fitBounds
Non-admin users can now submit beacons but they are held in an
unapproved state until an admin approves them. Only approved beacons
appear in the public list; pending submissions are shown in a separate
admin-only section on /beacons with Approve and Delete actions. The
show page surfaces a pending badge and an admin-only Approve button
when viewing an unapproved beacon.
Also formats EIRP (mW) on the index page without scientific notation.
- Move controls (band selector, grid toggle, nav links) to a docked
right sidebar on desktop, keep floating overlay on mobile
- Point detail panel floats over the map bottom-left instead of inside
the narrow sidebar
- Add collapse/expand toggle for the sidebar
- Add auth links (login/logout/settings) to sidebar
- Wrap public live routes in live_session with UserAuth on_mount
- Use daisyUI menu lists for sidebar navigation
Beacons:
- Scaffolded with phx.gen.live then reworked so reads are public
and mutations go through a live_session gated by the new
:require_admin on_mount hook in UserAuth
- Beacon schema stores frequency (MHz), callsign, grid, lat/lon,
power (W), and height above ground (m); grid auto-derives from
lat/lon when left blank via Maidenhead.from_latlon
- Adds Maidenhead.from_latlon/3 so we can compute grids locally
instead of hitting an external API
Users admin page:
- /users and /users/:id/edit (admin-only) for listing, editing
(callsign/name/email/is_admin), and deleting other users
- Adds Accounts.list_users, admin_update_user, delete_user, and
a dedicated admin_changeset on the User schema
- Nav gains a "Users" link for admins and a "Beacons" link for
everyone
Users can now register beacon monitors on the settings page. Each
monitor gets a unique random token the remote program will use to
authenticate its reports. Name is the only user-supplied field for
now; more will be added as the monitor protocol is defined.
Also adds :gen_smtp to deps. Swoosh's SMTP adapter depends on
:mimemail which lives in that package, and production was 500'ing
when trying to send confirmation emails without it.
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
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
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.
Backfill dashboard now has checkboxes to select which enrichment types
to process (HRRR, Weather, Terrain, IEMRE). Prevents weather jobs from
flooding the queue when only HRRR needs work.
- Add ecto_psql_extras for PostgreSQL insights in dashboard
- Add os_mon for OS metrics (CPU, memory, disk)
- Fix progress bars using percentage instead of raw large numbers
- libcluster with Kubernetes IP strategy for pod discovery
- RBAC for pod list/get, POD_IP from downward API, shared cookie
- LiveDashboard at /dashboard for all environments
- Input field to enqueue N contacts for backfill
- Live stats: unprocessed contacts, active/queued jobs, completed/hour
- Per-worker breakdown: executing (with spinner), available, retryable
- Auto-refreshes every 2 seconds
- 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
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.
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.
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.
