Observations: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Band is closed when foF2
is less than 1MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very short ,few tens of
kilometers, QSO via F2 is possible when foF2 is 3.7MHz or more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO down to 200km is
possible via F2 when foF2 is 3.4MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At daytime D-layer may
hinder QSO even foF2 is high enough |
