 ### What This Dashboard Shows
 
-This dashboard displays **real-time HF propagation conditions** by showing decoded WSPR, FT8, and FT4 spots from the KD3ALD receiver. Each spot represents a successful digital mode reception, indicating that a particular band is open to that location.

 ### Receiver Limitations
 
 **Important to know:**
-- ⚠️ **One receiver only:** Dashboard shows propagation **TO** KD3ALD (FN21ni)
-- ⚠️ **Not transmitting:** KD3ALD receiver is RX-only (doesn't transmit)
+- ⚠️ **One receiver only:** Dashboard shows propagation **TO** YOUR_CALLSIGN (YOUR_GRID)
+- ⚠️ **Not transmitting:** YOUR_CALLSIGN receiver is RX-only (doesn't transmit)
 - ⚠️ **Local noise:** Urban QTH may have higher noise floor
 - ⚠️ **Antenna limitations:** Small active antenna (not a beam or large wire)

+- **Dashboard shows:** What stations can hear at YOUR_CALLSIGN location
 - **Dashboard doesn't show:** What you'll hear at YOUR location
 - **But:** HF propagation is generally reciprocal, so it's a good indicator!
