IPS has raised the expected level of solar activity
and a new propagation forecast has been uploaded to
the Unofficial YU DX Contest Site at http://yudx.net.

Forecasts are available for RX locations in each of 75 ITU zones.
There are six pages per RX location, one for each band from 1.8 to 28
MHz,
giving expected relative signal strengrh in dBs for TX locations
in each of 75 ITU zones.

The forecast was generated using ICEPAC, an improved version of VOACAP,
and VA3TTN's control & formatting program, written in Component Pascal.
The forecast is based on solar activity forecast from IPS.

ITU zone maps and tables are also available.
