Compact Announcement Preview
- The Overview now shows a concise announcement preview with a Read more link to the full Announcements page.
Overview Refinement
- Removed the Contest Desk panel from the Overview so the main dashboard stays focused on general club tools.
Immediate Administrator Publishing
- Administrator announcements and document uploads now publish immediately. Member submissions still enter the appropriate approval queue.
Contest Desk Visibility Control
- Added a Contest Desk tool in Administration with Show Contest Desk and Hide Contest Desk from navigation controls.
- Contest Desk now stays out of member navigation and the Overview when there is no active contest, or when an administrator hides it.
Martin County Propagation Context
- Updated the Current Propagation introduction to clearly identify the page as Martin County space-weather context.
Current Propagation Navigation
- Renamed the Radio Tools navigation and Overview link to Current Propagation so it more clearly describes the live conditions page.
Real World Greyline Map
- Upgraded the World Greyline Map to use bundled Natural Earth geographic boundaries with calculated daylight and civil-twilight boundary lines, plus the real MCARC location marker.
World Greyline Map
- Replaced the regional Greyline view with a large flat world map, making it easy to see the complete moving day/night boundary and MCARC's position relative to it.
Geographic Greyline Scale
- Corrected the regional Greyline map geometry to use real latitude and longitude placement for cities and state outlines, and added a visible 500-mile scale bar.
Wider Greyline Coverage
- Expanded the live Greyline map again so members can view approximately 1,500 miles of surrounding daylight, twilight, and nighttime conditions.
Expanded Regional Greyline View
- Expanded the regional Greyline map to roughly 500 miles across and made it larger, adding more surrounding cities and states for better at-a-glance context.
HF Outlook Alignment
- Aligned the HF Outlook Last updated time with the right edge of the conditions table for a cleaner, easier-to-scan layout.
Regional Greyline Map
- Rebuilt the Greyline display as a full-size, Martin County-centered regional map with state lines, a highlighted county area, nearby city labels, and live daylight and twilight shading.
Simplified HF Outlook Heading
- Removed the extra NOAA forecast note from the HF Outlook heading to keep the propagation page cleaner and easier to scan.
Expanded Greyline Regional View
- Expanded the Martin County locator to show roughly 200 miles of surrounding Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan context.
HF Outlook Update Time
- Added a Last updated time beside the General HF Band Outlook so members can immediately see when its current conditions were calculated.
Solar & Radio Propagation Dashboard
- Expanded Radio Tools into a full Solar & Radio Propagation dashboard with live NOAA solar flux, Kp, solar wind, Bz, X-ray, sunspot, and space-weather-scale measurements.
- Added compact six-hour trends, measurement times, data-status indicators, a protected manual refresh button, and a saved last-known-good snapshot for temporary NOAA outages.
- Added a locally calculated Day and Night outlook for 80 through 10 meters, clearly labeled as an estimate rather than a NOAA prediction.
Midwest Greyline Locator
- Widened the global greyline view and added a compact Midwest locator with Indiana and surrounding state borders.
- Martin County is now clearly marked in the Indiana locator so members can immediately see the club's position on the map.
Compact Radio Tools Layout
- Tightened the Propagation Dashboard into a denser operator-style layout with smaller condition cards, band guidance, map, and reference panel.
- The page now keeps more useful propagation information visible at once on desktop and mobile without oversized empty areas.
Radio Tools Cleanup
- Removed the external DXMaps message from the Propagation Dashboard to keep the page focused on MCARC's own live tools and band guidance.
Greyline Map Clarity
- Corrected the Martin County marker on the Radio Tools greyline map so it appears in Indiana instead of at an incorrect map position.
- Added a recognizable world outline and a smoother daylight/twilight/night overlay so the global greyline is easier to understand at a glance.
Propagation Dashboard
- Added Radio Tools to the member navigation and Overview page, starting with a new Propagation Dashboard.
- The dashboard shows live NOAA solar flux, planetary Kp, and GOES X-ray information with plain-language condition labels.
- Added Martin County-centered band suggestions for daytime, evening, and nighttime operation, plus a live day/night greyline map that refreshes every minute.
- Radio Tools uses official NOAA space-weather data and presents it in a club-friendly format.
Browser Test Reliability
- Corrected the production browser-test startup process so the current styles, interactive JavaScript, and public images are always loaded before testing begins.
- Sticky navigation, document uploads, and calendar event popups are now tested against the complete production application instead of an incomplete standalone runtime.
