How to read the charts
The chart shows the best frequency
to use. The "hotter" the slot, the higher the probability of making the contact on that band.
These
are based on CW, 100W, dipole to dipole and a "good" reception.
Adjust the reliability according to your own station. CW (Morse) offers a big advantage.

Iceland
Reliability/Band graph produced by VOACAP Online
This shows that to work the Iceland station from within the UK, 20m (14 MHz)
is probably your best bet from around 1000UTC to 2000 UTC. At night check
40m (7MHz)
Do check 10 MHz too - I have never heard IMD stations operating on 30m myself.
