Try this one. It's mainly NVIS but interesting still.

There are some propagation programs as well (haven't used them).
www.dxzone.com/catalog/Software/Propagation/
And of course AC6V: www.ac6v.com/propagation.htm#soft.

Thanks a ton for that first link. NVIS is exactly why I wanted to know the MUF!

You bet. Just a quick rule of thumb, 75/80m is almost always good for NVIS and 40m usually is.

I primarily use VOAProp. Very simple to use. A much more complete (and complex) system is VOACAP. The latter requires more data entry on the user's part.

Cool, thanks for the link. I'll have to install the app and play around with it.
