    Propagation chart is wrong

    Why is it, that everytime the skip is rolling on 11 meters the propagation chart still says conditions are poor? In fact I've never seen it say anything other than poor.

    Probably because they compare to overall skip cycle levels in others words just because the skip is rolling doesn't mean propagation is as good as it is during a solar cycle high here's another site to help you track it to http://www.bandconditions.com

    Thanks for that info. I thought that chart was supposed to help me forecast conditions. So far it hasn't done anything for me on 10 and 11 meter radio.

    Way I do it, is turn on the radio...If I hear skip, then propagation is good...
