Hi Dave,

Possibly, but they are unknown to me, unfortunately (perhaps someone
will clue us both in).

On the other hand (and it won't do MW much) you could reference VOAWin
for HF propagation work (try a search engine). MW propagation
variation seems to have two major variables, Daytime/Nighttime and
Summer/Winter. Beyond that, it is fairly predictable for any of those
four combinations.

I would suggest following the chatter on rec.radio.shortwave. You can
find reports to help hone your prospects, but when I did an impromptu
analysis of some 1500 postings, I found they actually talk about
contacts only about 0.5% of the time.
