What is generally the best time for long-distance 10-meter band propagation via the F region?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. From dawn to shortly after sunset during periods of high sunspot activity
Long-distance 10-meter F-region propagation is usually best from dawn to shortly after sunset, during periods of high sunspot activity. The sun ionizes the F region, and more sunspots mean stronger ionization.
Tip: 10 meters is a daytime band that comes alive near sunspot peaks.
