Implements three visualization variants for VOACAP coverage maps:

V1: Region Blocks

  • Discrete colored regions (EU, AS, JA, SA, AF, OC)
  • Easy to understand, lower computational requirements
  • Best for quick regional overview

V2: Smooth Heat Map

  • Continuous gradient visualization using Leaflet.heat
  • Shows detailed propagation hotspots
  • Best for identifying optimal beam headings

V3: Hybrid

  • Combines heat map with light region boundaries
  • Best of both worlds approach
  • Recommended default implementation

All mockups include:

  • Updated TX power options: 5, 25, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 1500W
  • Frequency format B: implied MHz (e.g., "14.074")
  • Mode-specific calling frequencies (FT8, FT4, SSB, CW)
  • Interactive controls for band, mode, power, and time offset
  • DXCC entity tracking with propagation status
  • Real-time summary bar

Design supports smooth iso-area rendering with fallback to 4-character maidenhead grid if computation is prohibitive.
