Re: [IRCA] "Daily" HF/MF/VHF Radiowave Propagation Forecasts Useful?

[Ira Elbert New III <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I enjoy looking at them from time to time, but I don't if I'm serious enough to actually put the info to god use. I listen whenever the mood strikes me regardless of what a forecast might tell me. I share the info with my class when we study the layers of the atmosphere and try to get them to understand what is happening. When I have a working antenna for my Ham radio, again, I just talk and/or listen when the mood strikes me. Keep up the good work!
