15-Meter-Band

As a 15 - meter band is defined as the frequency range of 21.0 MHz to 21.45 MHz. It is located in the shortwave spectrum. The name is derived from the approximate wavelength of this frequency range

Propagation conditions

The propagation conditions of the 15-meter band are very dependent on the number of sunspots. During the sunspot minimum short band openings are present only during the day in the summer months, during the winter time, it may even lead to a total failure, which can take several days. Even more can be at the maximum of solar activity, promoted by a low attenuation, with small benefits to bridge very long distances. Atmospheric disturbances have no effect on the tape.
