usable frequency is also stated for similar reasons.
Many propagation predictions and statistics are published
and usually available from most country’s National
Amateur Radio and short wave listeners representatives.
Various publications are produced giving transmission and
contact details for world-wide reception. These titles
include:
World Radio TV Handbook (WRTH), BPI

Listings for utility services are also widely published and
available.
