Observations: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Band is closed when foF2
is less than 7.8MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very short ,few tens of
kilometers, QSO via F2 is possible when foF2 is 28MHz or more |
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO down to 1000km is
possible via F2 when foF2 is 13.4MHz |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO impossible to
distances less than 2000km when foF2 is 9MHz or less. DX is coming fine but
out own continent not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSO may still be possible
via other propagation modes like back scatter, F1 etc. |
