Computer programs can predict it. They can model it. They can study and
analyze it endlessly. But propagation, especially above 10 MHz, will
continue to confound anyone using those frequencies for a good many years to
come - at the least.

The only reliable indication that I have found are the beacons at 14.100. If
you can hear one near where you are trying to communicate, you have
something of a chance at success.

Wish I could understand propagation.  Last week all I could hear on 14.3035
was static.  Today Phil was S9 into the Central Coast of CA, and I was able
to check in with no problems at S7 to S9.  I guess the answer is to try each
week when I have the time.  With my wife in a hospital 3 hrs away with a
traumatic brain injury there are a lot of Sunday mornings when I do not get
the chance, but I will keep trying when I can.
