Low band skip propagation map?

To All,

Always remember to submit your confirmed frequencies to the database if they are not listed!
It'll benefit all of us!

I recently added Smyth County's 37.040 earlier too.

Can someone please post a link to a VHF Lo Band skip propagation map? Thanks Marvin

One hell of a band opening going on right now. Getting a ton of 30-50mhz hits.

I really appreciate the logs. I have been receiving a lot of skip here in TX in the 33 and 46 MHZ. The logs are very helpful to ID the channels. I’m using a BCD 536 with a discone 15 ft a one my rooftop. It has been almost non-stop for a couple weeks now.

Historically sporadic E propagation often occurs about an hour or two before noon local time and an a couple hours before susnet to a couple of hours after sunset local time in May through August and less often December through January but there really is no best time to listen. You have to be listening when it happens. Many people listen all the time to catch openings.
