-
-<P>This command allow you to estimate the likelihood of you contacting
-a station with the prefix you have specified. The output assumes a modest
-power of 20dBW and receiver sensitivity of -123dBm (about 0.15muV/10dB SINAD)</P>
-<P>The result predicts the most likely operating frequencies and signal
-levels for high frequency (shortwave) radio propagation paths on
-specified days of the year and hours of the day. It is most useful for
-paths between 250 km and 6000 km, but can be used with reduced accuracy
-for paths shorter or longer than this.</P>
-<P>The command uses a routine MINIMUF 3.5 developed by the U.S. Navy and
-used to predict the MUF given the predicted flux, day of the year,
-hour of the day and geographic coordinates of the transmitter and
-receiver. This routine is reasonably accurate for the purposes here,
-with a claimed RMS error of 3.8 MHz, but much smaller and less complex
-than the programs used by major shortwave broadcasting organizations,
-such as the Voice of America.</P>
-<P>The command will display some header information detailing its
-assumptions, together with the locations, latitude and longitudes and
-bearings. It will then show UTC (UT), local time at the other end
-(LT), calculate the MUFs, Sun zenith angle at the midpoint of the path
-(Zen) and the likely signal strengths. Then for each frequency for which
-the system thinks there is a likelihood of a circuit it prints a value.</P>
-<P>The value is currently a likely S meter reading based on the conventional
-6dB / S point scale. If the value has a '+' appended it means that it is
-1/2 an S point stronger. If the value is preceeded by an 'm' it means that
-there is likely to be much fading and by an 's' that the signal is likely
-to be noisy. </P>
-<P>By default SHOW/MUF will show the next two hours worth of data. You
-can specify anything up to 24 hours worth of data by appending the no of
-hours required after the prefix. For example:-</P>

-
-<P>The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a
-normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to
-regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five
-numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is
-your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from
-zero.</P>
-<P>You are expected to return a string which contains the characters
-required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters
-with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and
-these values are for explanation :-):</P>

-<P>Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the cluster

-<P>The second form of TALK is used when other cluster nodes are connected
-with restricted information. This usually means that they don't send
-the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.</P>
-<P>If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only
-see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the
-second form of the talk message.</P>
-<P>If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text message
-out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that a
-short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a 'Talking'
-frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send will go to the
-station that you asked for. </P>
