Propagation Summary :: 24.89 - 24.99 MHz (12m)

This band offers propagation that combines the best of the 10 and 15 meter bands.
Although 12 meters is primarily a daytime band during low and moderate sunspot years, it may stay open well after sunset during the solar maximum.
During years of moderate solar activity, 12 meters opens to the low and middle latitudes during the daytime hours, but it seldom remains open after sunset.
Periods of low solar activity seldom cause this band to go completely dead, except at higher latitudes.
Occasional daytime openings, especially in the lower latitudes, are likely over north-south paths.
The main sporadic E season on 24 MHz lasts from late spring through summer and short openings may be observed in mid-winter.
