From June, 2021:
Dr. Tamitha Skov (WX6SWW), world re-known space weather scientist nick-named the "Space Weather Woman", discusses Propagation Prediction Capabilities, now and in the future.

At the beginning, clearly explaining and letting us all in on the "dirty little secret", that our current so-called propagation forecasts / predictions are not like our daily weather forecasts, but rather are similar to using historical climatology ---- saying the weather on this day last year, or averaging the weather on this day, for the last few years, tells us what the weather will be like today. (reminding us to take those "propagation tables" with a grain of salt)

As well as the possible use of WSPR, and RBN, etc. to help in "now-casting" of the Ionosphere.

And, then (at ~ 4:45) she spends most of the remaining ~ 11 minutes, explaining / showing us what to actually look at, actually most importantly what to ignore, in those "Propagation Tables" (that are featured/marketed on so many websites), and that are used in oh so much of the "fancy" propagation software that is either incorporated into many ham radio software packages or accessed on-line!

This is all Courtesy of, and big thanks go out to, the "Coffee and Ham Radio" Channel, and all the guys there!
