Google earth and the ionosphere

You may have noticed that there are more and more applications coming to light that make use of google earth. the first that I came across was logging and I was pretty impressed with what I saw, next was dx clusters and that too sent me sky high with what this integration can do for us mere mortals.the list was growing and growing and nicely done it was too.

Now the ARRL has reported that there is a virtual ionosphere that can be superimposed onto your very own google earth.

I upgraded my installation through the faithful synaptic and I am really impressed with what you get. the work is done by CAPS (Communication Alert and Prediction System) and the details are here. A screenshot of it displaying the foF2 fro today on my machine is below.
