Submit and contact-detail forms now use a plain text input for the QSO
timestamp with a "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" placeholder and regex pattern. The
native datetime-local input ignores lang="en-GB" on macOS/iOS when the
system clock is 12-hour, so it was rendering AM/PM against the user's
wishes. Ecto's :utc_datetime cast already accepts this format (verified
space+seconds, T+seconds, and both with and without seconds/Z).
Contact edit workflow grows a third branch: admins still apply directly,
non-owners still go through the admin review queue, and now logged-in
owners of a contact (user_id == current_user.id) can apply edits
directly too. New helpers Radio.owner?/2 and Radio.apply_owner_edit/3
reuse the existing normalize + diff + apply_edit_to_contact path so the
grid-change → enrichment re-enqueue pipeline kicks in automatically.
Anonymous contacts (user_id nil) and other users' contacts both return
{:error, :not_owner}.
Nine new tests cover owner?/2 and apply_owner_edit/3 including the
no-changes, wrong-user, and anonymous-contact paths.
MRMS
----
Layer the NOAA MRMS PrecipRate product onto the score grid so rain fade
updates every 2 minutes instead of every hour alongside HRRR. New modules:
- Microwaveprop.Weather.MrmsClient: fetches the latest .grib2.gz off the
NCEP mirror (Req auto-decompresses so no gunzip step), writes the raw
GRIB2 to a temp file, and calls the existing wgrib2 wrapper with the
0.125 propagation grid spec to get interpolated cells. Returns a
%{{lat, lon} => mm_per_hour} map with missing-value sentinels dropped.
- Microwaveprop.Weather.MrmsCache: ETS-backed GenServer mirroring
ScoreCache/GridCache. Caches a single "current" entry keyed by
valid_time with PubSub broadcast so peer nodes stay in sync and only
the Oban leader pays the fetch + regrid cost.
- Microwaveprop.Workers.MrmsFetchWorker: cron every 2 minutes, short-
circuits when the cached valid_time already matches the newest file.
Microwaveprop.Propagation.AsosNudge.compute/4 now takes an optional
rain_grid. When a cell has MRMS rain >= 0.1 mm/hr it gets patched onto
the HRRR profile's `precip_mm` field (the scorer already reads it there)
and the cell is re-scored even with no ASOS station nearby. Cells with
MRMS rain below the threshold aren't touched so dry cells keep their
raw HRRR scores (which have the wind/sky/native-gradient signal that
isn't persisted on HrrrProfile rows and would otherwise be lost).
AsosAdjustmentWorker pulls MrmsCache on every tick and passes the grid
through to AsosNudge.compute/4. Also skips the IemClient error branch
that can never happen and handles the ASOS-empty + MRMS-empty case
explicitly. MrmsCache wired into the supervision tree; MrmsFetchWorker
cron entry added to config.exs and dev.exs.
Four new AsosNudge cases cover MRMS-only re-scoring, threshold gating,
and the wet/dry score delta.
Beacons 500
-----------
Beacon.format_freq/1 and format_mw/1 crashed on whole-number floats
(e.g. 24192.0) because `frac == 0.0` could become false under float
rounding while `trim_trailing_zeros/1` stripped the decimal point,
leaving a 1-element list that couldn't be destructured as [_, frac].
Shared format_number/1 helper handles integer input directly and
pattern-matches both the "int-only" and "int + frac" shapes.
Added stream_data property tests covering the whole microwave range for
both integers and floats to catch this class of bug before prod.
UTC clock flash
---------------
The /weather and /map UTC clocks were empty until the JS hook mounted
post-WebSocket, producing a several-second blank spot on initial load
and a clobber risk on sidebar re-renders. Mount now computes a
server-rendered `initial_utc_clock` string and the template seeds the
element with that plus `phx-update="ignore"` so LiveView morphdom won't
overwrite what the hook writes.
Adds Microwaveprop.Propagation.AsosNudge: a pure IDW bias-field module
that takes ASOS observations + HRRR profiles and returns re-scored grid
rows for every cell within 250km of a reporting station. Upper-air
fields (min_refractivity_gradient, pwat_mm, hpbl_m, profile, duct
metadata) pass through unchanged so HRRR's signal isn't clobbered.
The old AsosAdjustmentWorker was unwired and buggy — nil'd out ~22% of
the scoring weight and wrote orphan timestamps. Replaced with a slim
worker that queries the latest HRRR valid_time, fetches live ASOS
currents, calls AsosNudge.compute/3, and upserts onto
(lat, lon, valid_time, band_mhz) so nudged values overwrite the HRRR
hour cleanly instead of polluting available_valid_times. After each
upsert it warms ScoreCache and broadcasts propagation:updated so live
/map clients refresh.
Cron hooked up every 10 minutes in config.exs and dev.exs. Also cleaned
up the stale "dev has propagation disabled" note in CLAUDE.md.
13 new AsosNudge unit tests cover: residual computation (co-located,
out-of-grid, nil fields), IDW weighting (single station, far station,
two equidistant stations, nil component handling), upper-air
preservation, and the compute/3 entry point's shape and radius filter.
Drive-by Styler formatting touched a handful of unrelated files from
`mix format`.
The contact detail page used to gather every enrichment source in one
parallel_hydrate/2 bundle and await all five tasks before updating any
assigns, so users watched the whole right-hand column flash in at the
speed of the slowest query (usually hrrr_profiles_for_path against a
42M-row table).
Each source now runs in its own start_async task: :weather, :solar,
:hrrr_path, :terrain, :iemre. Matching handle_async/3 clauses assign
the slot and call refresh_computed/1, which rebuilds elevation_profile
+ propagation_analysis + data_sources from whatever's currently in
assigns. Sections appear independently as their data arrives, and the
existing PubSub handlers (:hrrr_ready, :weather_ready, :terrain_ready,
:solar_ready) still pick up later backfill completions the same way
they did before.
Right-hand dark sidebar holds the layer selector, description,
navigation links, and auth menu. Mobile floating panel mirrors the
pattern used on /map so users get the same controls in both views.
- Forecast hour clicks showed only a small square of coverage because
:preload_forecast ran at mount using a hardcoded fallback bounding box
instead of the client's actual viewport. Move the preload trigger into
handle_event("map_bounds", ...) so the cache always matches the
viewport the client just asked about.
- Map overlay blinked on load/update because renderScores called Leaflet
GridLayer.redraw(), which removes every tile element before recreating
them. Repaint the existing tile canvases in place instead.
- Prod SMTP to mail.smtp2go.com was failing with an "unexpected_message"
TLS alert: gen_smtp wasn't sending SNI so the wildcard cert endpoint
rejected the handshake. Set tls: :always with explicit tls_options
(server_name_indication, versions, verify).
- AdifImport.normalize_mode/2 maps ADIF MODE (and SUBMODE when present)
onto the fixed set of modes the site accepts: CW/SSB/FM/FT8/FT4/Q65.
SUBMODE takes precedence so `MODE=MFSK, SUBMODE=FT8` correctly imports
as FT8. USB/LSB/DSB all become SSB; NBFM/WFM become FM.
- Unknown modes (RTTY, PSK31, etc.) map to nil so the row still imports
— mode is optional on the submission path now.
- AdifImport.mode_mapping_reference/0 returns the user-facing list of
recognized inputs and their mappings.
- Submit page's ADIF tab renders that list in a table so users can see
upfront what will happen to their file before uploading.
- 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.
- Add Weather.GridCache: ETS cache of derived HRRR grid rows keyed by
valid_time, cluster-synced via PubSub. Eagerly warmed from
PropagationGridWorker after each upsert so /weather map pan/zoom and
weather_point_detail hit zero DB on warm cache.
- Replace latest_weather_grid DB query path with cache-first lookup +
DB fallback. hrrr_profiles is 42M rows partitioned; pulling 3-10k
rows per viewport on every pan was the main cost.
- ContactLive.Show: defer the heavy enrichment loads (weather, solar,
HRRR, terrain, IEMRE, elevation profile, ITU-R propagation analysis,
data_sources) into a handle_info(:hydrate) that runs after the shell
renders. Initial mount now returns nil placeholders; template already
had :if guards for all of them. Shell-to-first-paint goes from
~500ms-2s down to ~20ms.
- Cache fetch_queue_counts for 5s in ContactLive.Show — oban_jobs group
by query was running on every contact page view.
- Backfill stats: wrap count_unprocessed, fetch_stats, fetch_db_stats
in Microwaveprop.Cache with 2-5s TTLs; bump refresh debounce from 1s
to 2s so bulk enrichment events don't thrash the DB.
- Add contacts_inserted_at_desc_id_desc_idx so /contacts list runs as an
Index Scan (~0.4ms) instead of a Seq Scan + top-N heapsort (~77ms on
58k rows)
- Add Microwaveprop.Cache: tiny ETS-backed TTL cache for memoizing
expensive-but-stale-tolerant values
- Cache total_entries for unsearched /contacts page loads (30s TTL,
invalidated on insert)
- Cache the entire /contacts/map payload (pre-encoded JSON + band list),
moving load_contacts into Radio.contact_map_payload; invalidated on
new contact insert. Mount goes from ~150-300ms to ~5ms.
- Fix /map overlay blinking on load: reuse the Leaflet GridLayer across
renderScores calls and just redraw() against the updated ScoreGrid,
instead of removeLayer + new layer which flashed between tile regens
- Make mode optional on submission: schema change (null: true),
submission_changeset no longer requires it, blank strings normalise to
nil, CSV import accepts 6-column (no mode) or 7-column layouts
- core_components .input adds a red asterisk to labels when required,
giving users a visual cue for which fields must be filled on /submit
- ScoreCache stores {band, valid_time} as %{{lat, lon} => score} map so
point lookups are O(1); adds fetch_point/4 and valid_times/1
- available_valid_times/1 reads directly from ScoreCache when warm,
falls back to DB on cold start
- point_forecast/3 iterates cached valid_times and uses fetch_point/4
instead of hitting the DB per click
- NexradCache: node-local ETS cache of decoded n0q PNG pixel buffers
keyed by 5-minute rounded timestamp; skips ~1-5s HTTP+decode on
concurrent/repeat clicks within the same window
- MapLive: start_async the rain_scatter fetch so point_detail renders
immediately with a pending marker; push rain_scatter_update when
NEXRAD resolves
- MapLive: preload all 18 remaining forecast hours for the current
viewport after mount/band change/propagation_updated; client caches
them and renders timeline scrubs instantly without a server roundtrip.
Adds set_selected_time event for fast-path state sync.
- Propagation map JS: forecastCache map + drawScatterMarkers helper,
timeline click uses preloaded cache when available
1. Prevent user_id impersonation in contact submissions
- Remove user_id from submission_changeset cast fields
- Pass user_id as a separate server-side argument to create_contact/2
- Client form params can no longer forge account-linked contacts
2. Restrict flag toggle to admins only
- Add admin? guard to toggle_flag event handler
- Hide flag button from non-admin users in template
3. Reset enrichment on timestamp edits
- Add qso_timestamp to the fields that trigger enrichment reset
- Prevents stale weather/HRRR/IEMRE data after time changes
Aliases: add module aliases for 9 nested module references
Apply: replace apply/3 with direct module attribute calls
Line length: break 1 long spec line
Refactoring: extract helpers to reduce complexity and nesting
in show.ex, radio.ex, weather workers, terrain, duct detection,
backfill dashboard, contact map, and mix tasks
- Replace %Struct{} with Struct.t() in all @spec annotations
- Replace length(x) > 0 with x != [] in test assertions
- Fix multi-line spec struct references in weather.ex
- Revert enrichment status cards from daisyUI stat to plain containers
(tabular status rows don't fit the stat component's layout)
- Add overflow-hidden to DB stat cards for large numbers
- Fix select text centering with display:flex + align-items:center
- Add belongs_to :user on Beacon schema, preload in get_beacon!/1
- Show "Submitted by {callsign}" on beacon detail page
- Add NTMS donation link on the about page
- Change grid preference text to 8 characters (e.g. EM12kp37)
Parse ADIF tagged-data format with fuzzy frequency-to-band matching
(nearest microwave band for any freq >= 900 MHz). Supports STATION_CALLSIGN,
OPERATOR, CALL, GRIDSQUARE, MY_GRIDSQUARE, FREQ, BAND, QSO_DATE, TIME_ON.
Same dedup and preview/commit flow as CSV upload.
Also fix select dropdown text alignment in daisyUI.
Backfill page now sums child partition stats for partitioned tables
like hrrr_profiles (relkind 'p') which were excluded by the relkind
'r' filter. Contacts map defers Leaflet init to requestAnimationFrame
so the flex container has dimensions before map initialization.
Replace the JS-built Leaflet control panel with a server-side
sidebar (desktop) and mobile floating controls. Band checkboxes,
callsign filter, and nav links now match the main propagation map
layout. Filter state managed by LiveView, pushed to JS via events.
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.
- Callsign input filters contacts where either station matches
(case-insensitive substring match, debounced 300ms)
- Band checkboxes now show per-band count of visible contacts
- All/None buttons for quick band selection
- Header count updates dynamically with filters
- Complete rewrite: rebuilds map on any filter change instead of
toggling individual layers (simpler, handles cross-filter correctly)
The sidebar and mobile floating controls overlay the dark map tiles
but inherited light theme colors, making dropdowns, inputs, and
menus invisible (white-on-white). Adding data-theme="dark" forces
all daisyUI components within these containers to use dark variants
regardless of the page's theme setting.
When clicking a grid point, fetches the latest NEXRAD composite
reflectivity and identifies rain cells within 300 km that could
enable rain scatter contacts. Shows:
- Scatter classification (excellent/good/marginal/none)
- Top 3 cells with dBZ, distance, bearing, and relative signal
- Colored circle markers on the map at rain cell locations
- Markers sized by reflectivity, colored by intensity
Uses simplified bistatic radar equation accounting for reflectivity,
frequency-dependent scattering (Rayleigh/Mie), and R^4 path loss.
NEXRAD cells sampled every ~5 km within bounding box for efficiency.
Terrain elevations now include the earth bulge correction, so the
profile visually humps up in the middle relative to the straight
LOS beam — showing how the curved earth rises into the signal path.
Uses actual k-factor from HRRR refractivity when available, otherwise
standard 4/3. For a 300 km path at k=4/3, the midpoint bulge is
~2,650 m (8,700 ft).
- Round grid-derived lat/lon in maybe_fill_latlon changeset step
- Format lat/lon to 6 decimal places on index table
- Migrate existing beacon data to 6 decimal precision
- Add comma separators to EIRP mW display (e.g. 10,000 mW)
- Extract shared add_commas helper for format_freq and format_mw
Height in feet doesn't need decimal precision. Migrates the DB
column, updates schema type, and strips trailing .0 from form
input so the integer cast succeeds.
- Add CommaNumber JS hook for live comma formatting while typing
frequency MHz in the beacon form
- Strip commas server-side before changeset validation
- Order beacon list by most recently added (desc inserted_at)
- Round lat/lon to 6 decimal places in changeset and display
- Round height_ft to integer in changeset and display
- Display coords at 6 decimal places on show page
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.
When a contact is linked to a logged-in user account, display that
user's callsign in the Submitted column instead of a generic "Yes".
Anonymous submissions still show "Yes"; scraped contacts show an em
dash.
Add a per-entry progress bar (with cancel) while a CSV streams in, and
replace the small post-commit alert with a prominent "X contacts
submitted" confirmation card.
Drops the formal "What we're trying to do / The approach / The stack"
scaffolding for a shorter, first-person telling: line-of-sight is
wrong, here's what we're doing about it, here's what's in the box,
here's what's next. Adds a highlighted note that the scoring is
hand-calibrated and not updated in real time, with links to the
algorithm page and the submit page so readers can help close the
loop.
Contacts now carry a user_id FK to users. When a logged-in user
submits a contact (single or CSV upload), the server injects their
user_id and the email from their account into the submission params,
and the visible email input is replaced with a hidden input holding
that value — logged-in users don't have to retype their address.
The submission changeset now requires at least one of user_id or
submitter_email (rather than hard-requiring email), and email format
is only validated when one is actually present.
Reworded the submit-page blurb from "10 GHz to 241 GHz" to "902 MHz
and up" so it matches the actual band coverage of the project.
