Poor- S1-S3
None- S0


HF propagation conditions at greater than of 2000 mi/3200 km in the northern
hemisphere will be good on 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15 meters, fair to good
on 12, 10 meters.

HF propagation conditions at greater than 2000 mi/3200 km in the southern
hemisphere will be good on 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 15 meters, fair to good on
12, 10 meters.
