Hi,
I tried the path to the US, Stockholm to Boston actually, in Asaps and it
turns out that the MUF varies between 6.9 - 16.2 MHz. OWF is never above
12.8 MHz and so 18 MHz should not work. Also, the absorbation (ALF)
reaches 11.8 MHz during the day and that leaves a window between 11 and
15/16 MHz from 12 and until 16 UTC. I conclude that neither 10 nor 18 MHz
will work and so 14 MHz is our only chance. I will move the beacon to 14
MHz instead!
