Propagation last night
« on: October 29, 2016, 1545 UTC »
Propagation seemed to be very long last night, most of what was logged skipped right over me, like Pee Wee and WAHR.   Checking the foF2 values last night, they were mostly in the 2-4 MHz range, very low, which explains why: https://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/#skipzone

The band is closing for short skip early, something folks might want to keep in mind. OTOH, stations are likely get out quite far again later on in the evening, and overnight.
