The following graphs depict reliability and signal strength of all European beacons heard by members of the Six and Ten Reporting Club in the UK during November 2002. The legend below provides an explanation of these graphs. Suggested propagation modes: Direct F-layer propagation for SV3AQR. Predominantly F-layer for OH9TEN and OH2B, especially in the middle part of the day, but with backscatter at other times. Predominantly backscatter with some direct F2 for the SK beacons. The late evening propagation indicated in the graphs of LA4TEN, LA5TEN, OH2B, SK0CT and SK5TEN is due to auroral E. All the other beacons were heard via backscatter except "GB3RAL tropo", which is via the troposphere as heard at the station of G0AEV. There was one instance of sporadic E but it is not detectable in the graphs. Compare these results with equivalent data for November 2001

Beacon graphs legend: Graph bars (in red; left side Y-axis): beacon reliability as the percentage of days a beacon was heard by any (UK) observer within each time band. Graph lines (right side Y-axis): signal strength calculated as the average of the daily maximum signal reported by any observer in each time band. Time band codes (X-axis): 6=0600-0900, 9=0900-1200, 12=1200-1500, etc. Times in UT (GMT). Titles are beacon callsigns followed by the daily reliability figures, the percentage of days for the month on which the beacon was reported
