[RTTY] 10M dead in IL before 10M RTTY contest

[Thomas F Giella NZ4O]

Here in central Florida I worked N9LAH and then the band folded. With a DSN 
of only 49 we can't expect much east-west F2 raduio wave propagation

But there will be some Es and TE radio wave propagation. My MF/HF/6M radio 
wave propagation forecast  for 10 meters at http://www.solarcycle24.org is:

FORECASTED GREAT CIRCLE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 12, 10 METERS VIA SHORT PATH-

      East -> West To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      West -> East To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      North -> South To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      South -> North To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor


FORECASTED GREAT CIRCLE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE 12, 10 METERS VIA SHORT PATH-

      East -> West To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      West -> East To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      North -> South To 2000 Mi/3200 km
     Poor

      South -> North To 2000 Mi/3200 km
      Poor




Note!!! At times propagation conditions on 10 meters will be Good, via the 
less predictable Sporadic E (Es) and trans-equatorial (TE) propagation modes 
which involve the F2/3 layer.



HF Propagation Forecast Scale-

      Excellent
     S9+1 or better

      Good
     S7-S9

      Fair
     S4-S6

      Poor
     S1-S3

      None
     S0



FORECASTED GREAT CIRCLE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE VIA LONG PATH-

12, 10 meters (TA) Trans Atlantic, (TI) Trans Indian, (TP) Trans Pacific and 
cross Equatorial propagation conditions greater than 2000 mi/3200 km.

      Low Latitude
     Poor

      Mid Latitude
     Poor

      High Latitude
     Poor




FORECASTED GREAT CIRCLE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE VIA LONG PATH-

      Low Latitude
