VHF UHF tropospheric ducting forcasts (http://www.iprimus.ca/~hepburnw/tropo.html)

A pretty interesting site with good information and a number of good links. So far it seems pretty accurate as to what I've been hearing. Conditions in the Chicago/Milwaukee area have been nominal lately but last year around late spring and mid to late fall there were some amazing band openings in 2 meters and 70 centimeters.
I wonder if anyone else has checked out this site and just how accurate it's been for them. It's an interesting site to look at either way, enjoy.

I have found it to be fairly accurate but, not a 100%.
But, then again nothing is.

Just watch the Tropo, check out beacons within a 100 miles or so of your area, and generally watch out for unforcasted temp changes.
