Observations: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Band is closed when foF2
is less than 3.9MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very short ,few tens of
kilometers, QSO via F2 is possible when foF2 is 14MHz or more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO down to 1000km is
possible via F2 when foF2 is 6.7MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO may still be possible
via other propagation modes like back scatter, F1 etc. |
