(suggestion from a user)

Ability to alert when the MUF rises above a certain frequency for a user's location.

https://pskreporter.info/cgi-bin/psk-freq.pl can be used to query the 'best' frequency for digital modes based on location, although this is on demand rather than constant. Initially at least, this might be query-based rather than automatic.

From pskreporter.info:-

There is also a web service to provide the 'best frequency' to listen on to hear PSK31 traffic in your grid square at the current time. > This is useful if you leave your radio unattended, yet controlled by software.

The basic URL is https://pskreporter.info/cgi-bin/psk-freq.pl which will return data indicating the best frequency for your location (based on geolocating your IP address). If there is insufficient data, then no frequency will be returned.

The parameters to this script are:

grid= the two letter grid square. This will override the geolocation of your ip address. freq= comma seperated list of frequencies (in hz) that you are prepared to listen to. This should be the VFO frequency for each band. The response frequency will be one of these.
