Then early morning will begin with VHF and UHF (maximizing best conditions typically), as well as 10 meter for ground wave. Then sun rises will focus on 10 meter and 6 meter for best continued morning conditions. As afternoon comes, will likely bring lower HF in the mix with 40/60 meter but keeping 10 meter on all along.</font></div><div style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><font size="4"><br></font></div><div style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><font size="4">Don't know what the propagation gods will bring, and it's always "hit or Miss' off Mt.
