The one problem is that it doesn't take into account the "contest effect" -- i.e. no matter how bad the numbers look, propagation can be pretty good when there are a lot of stations on the air.

Seriously, even if things do look bad, go ahead and give it a try. Listen for the DX beacons, try the reverse beacons, or just call CQ. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I made a full sized PDF of that for inclusion in my shack notebook.  If anyone wants a copy of the file, drop me a PM with your email address.
