[CQ-Contest] Work Plan for CQ WW DX

[VE5ZX]

Zoneprop is designed to give a more accurate propagation prediction based on 
the ~current~ K index. The FOT matrix is updated once an hour using the 
current K index. It is not designed to be used for future propagation 
predictions.

CU in the contests
