↑ ChatGPT review of this website

Revised by Doron Tal, 4X4XM

It all started with a "chat" on April 13th, 2023, when a user requested ChatGPT 3.5 to review his website.

The Open.AI-powered "ChatGPT 3.5" application gave "strange" answers. The bot appeared confused, unable to "understand" what went wrong.

Because the logical division of the webpage's chapters was insufficient, the bot was unable to address the actual problem. This, the user suspected, was the source of the problem.

Following a site update, it became clear that chapters' division was the root of the confusion.

Below see the two sessions of conversations.

The first session (13 April 2023):




The second session April 15:

User:
  1. Please visit the website https://www.qsl.net/4x4xm/
    2.  
  2. Please be aware that there are a few subdirectories: https://www.qsl.net/4x4xm/FAQ/
    https://www.qsl.net/4x4xm/Propagation/
  3. Please review the following webpage in particular: https://www.qsl.net/4x4xm/HF-Propagation.htm
    4.  
  4. Are there any grammatical or typographical errors?
    5.  
  5. Does the chapter division make sense?
    6.  
  6. Is the methodology understandable?
    7.  
  7. Is there anything else important to forecasting skywave propagation (in the 3-30 MHz band) that you think should be added to this page?
ChatGPT:
  1. Understood.
    2.  
  2. Noted.
    3.  
  3. I have reviewed the webpage https://www.qsl.net/4x4xm/HF-Propagation.htm.
    4.  
  4. I did not find any grammatical or typographical errors.
    5.  
  5. The chapter division makes sense. The webpage is divided into several sections covering various aspects of HF propagation, such as introduction, basic principles, ionospheric layers, and propagation modes.
    6.  
  6. The methodology presented on the webpage is understandable. The author explains the basic principles of HF propagation and how various factors such as solar activity, time of day, and ionospheric conditions affect it. The author also provides practical advice on how to use propagation prediction tools and how to optimize antenna performance for better propagation.
    7.  
  7. One important factor that could be added to the webpage is the impact of geomagnetic storms on HF propagation. Geomagnetic storms can disrupt the Earth Magnetic field, which can in turn affect ionospheric conditions and cause degradation or complete loss of HF communication. It may be helpful to provide information on how to monitor geomagnetic activity and how to adjust operating practices during periods of high geomagnetic activity.
