Predicted Propagation for the 2008 Flight of the Bumblebees

It's almost amusing to see how "stuck" the propagation is for 2008. Really low solar flux and quiet conditions rule the realm!

Here are the predicted MUFs during the period of the FOBB. Don't forget that absorption rates during the middle of the day can be pretty high, and that MUFs really are maximums. The actual usable frequency can be significantly lower. Propagation conditions are not expected to change very much during the event, in contrast to conditions during Spartan Sprints, which often change dramatically.
