With Memorial Day, at the time of this writing, tis the season to be on the lookout for Sporadic "E" Upper HF, VHF, UHF, and higher FREQ's, propagation. I still like     https://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&ML=M&Map=W2LN&HF=N&DXC=ING2&GL=S    And, from there, I found this:     https://www.fmlist.org/ul_login.php    Then, for Tropo & temperature Inversions, there's this:     https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html        This site is mainly for MW DX'ing, but has a boatload of various useful links:      https://www.bamlog.com/     So, HAPPY Summer DX'ing in those upper bands!
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
