Implements the correct approach for VOACAP propagation visualization: - Uses Maidenhead 4-character grid squares (e.g., FN20, IO91) - Calculates propagation independently for each grid center - ~3,240 grid squares covering the globe (1° lat × 2° lon) - Colors each grid based on likelihood of communications - Independent of geographic/political boundaries This approach is scientifically accurate because: - Radio propagation follows physics, not geography - Each grid's propagation is calculated separately from TX to RX - Different grids within the same region can have different propagation - Maidenhead locator system is the amateur radio standard Previous mockups (V1-V3) incorrectly tied propagation to geographic regions, which doesn't match how VOACAP calculations work. Updated MOCKUPS_README.md to: - Document V4 as the recommended production approach - Explain why grid-based is superior to region-based visualization - Provide implementation guidance for production - Deprecate V1-V3 approaches
