[SixClub] Minimum Reliable 6M Propagation?

Besides a fertile imagination?  ;-)

I took what guys posted here plus what I have heard
and read elsewhere and created a chart as a starting
place.

It is generally easier to correct a chart with
questionable data, but which has some standardized
categories for reference, than to process random data.

Sure would value your input from experience - I am
a newbie to 6M and am trying to discover what I
should expect during non-opening days vs openings
when anything is possible!
