Absolutely!! The predictions are like weather forecasting.
One must also remember that propagation "conventions" are not always
correct, either!
Take for instance the 80 Meter QRP-L Foxhunt a few weeks ago. The two
foxes were in Virginia and Utah. I am located in New Jersey. Before
the hunt began, conventional wisdom and experience told me that I would
probably work the Virginia fox and probably wouldn't even hear the Utah fox.
In reality, the exact opposite came to be! I guess when it comes to
propagation you should "expect the unexpected".
