/*
* This can be used to get a rough idea of the HF propagation delay
* between two points (usually between you and the radio station).
* The usage is
*
* propdelay latitudeA longitudeA latitudeB longitudeB
*
* where points A and B are the locations in question. You obviously
* need to know the latitude and longitude of each of the places.
* The program expects the latitude to be preceded by an 'n' or 's'
* and the longitude to be preceded by an 'e' or 'w'. It understands
* either decimal degrees or degrees:minutes:seconds. Thus to compute
* the delay between the WWVH (21:59:26N, 159:46:00W) and WWV (40:40:49N,
* 105:02:27W) you could use:
*
* propdelay n21:59:26 w159:46 n40:40:49 w105:02:27
*
* By default it prints out a summer (F2 average virtual height 350 km) and
* winter (F2 average virtual height 250 km) number. The results will be
* quite approximate but are about as good as you can do with HF time anyway.
* You might pick a number between the values to use, or use the summer
* value in the summer and switch to the winter value when the static
* above 10 MHz starts to drop off in the fall. You can also use the
* -h switch if you want to specify your own virtual height.
*
* You can also do a
*
* propdelay -W n45:17:47 w75:45:22
*
* to find the propagation delays to WWV and WWVH (from CHU in this
* case), a
*
* propdelay -C n40:40:49 w105:02:27
*
* to find the delays to CHU, and a
*
* propdelay -G n52:03:17 w98:34:18
*
* to find delays to GOES via each of the three satellites.
