Observations: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Band is closed when foF2
is less than 2MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very short ,few tens of
kilometers, QSO via F2 is possible when foF2 is 7MHz or more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO down to 500km is
possible via F2 when foF2 is 5MHz, etc |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO may still be possible
via other propagation modes like back scatter, F1 etc. |
