Refining ChatGPT for DX hunting.

Seems that ChatGPT doesn't learn from updated spot lists, but attempts to provide answers from the recent past. Some of the answers -like Bouvet- may be outdated.
So, I asked it to predict, and it hates the idea, referring to spot lists, and propagation tools instead.

I nearly got it to predict, by giving many parameters and sources for data. I think it may be possible, so it's a work in progress. Then we'll need to see if the predictions are any good!
Please note that these suggestions are based on typical propagation patterns and popular DX stations. Actual availability and conditions may vary.

Remember to check DX cluster spots and propagation prediction tools for real-time updates and to adjust your operating strategy accordingly. Additionally, be mindful of band conditions and operator preferences for modes.
