Where has the site Band conditions gone?

Where did the site Band conditions go?? I have this site as one of my tabs on the blog and it either seems the link has been changed, the site is temporally down or it's gone? Does anyone have info on this maybe I missed the memo about a new link to the site?

I have found that most "solar forecast" tools are unreliable. This past weekend it predicted poor conditions on HF. I turned my radio on during the CQ WW CW contest and found signals from around the world.

Very true Mike and I too believe that no matter what the solar forecast page says get on the radio and see what happens.

The Bandconditions.com site is dead again, no response for the last week.

Good evening Dave, I just tried it here again and it seems to be down still.

Just found this on the web seems it is down but for a reason and should be back up soon.

sorry - when reconfig equipment disconnected web server - preparing for research project to gather data to provide baselines for both e and f layer doppler shifts which can then be applied to ionospheric models - this will require that this web site be shut down from august 31 0000 gmt to september 14 0000 gmt - sorry for the inconvenience this ...

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get this site up and running.

VE9KK said...

Will do thanks Harry.

I've been trying to access BandConditions.com everyday with no luck. Is it still down?

From other source: ('stole his explenation')
The website owner was having financial difficulties. It is a good site for USA E-W band determinations but to much weighting was given to 160 and 80 meters as no adjustment was made to account for low frequency absorption. I hope he can get it going again. ---Layne AE1N

I'd pay a subscription for the website if required. I'm sure many others would too.
