   I don't have any URLs at my fingertips, but I have been at many
web-sites that show current of very recent band condx OR DX contacts
(which is the same thing) and there are one or more web-sites that show
(in a 3D presentation) multiple hop paths across the globe.

   I found many by googling various combinations of logical word
combinations.
   Other links were found at HAM clubs websites.

   There are high frequency HF beacons and government HF time standard
transmitters world wide (with 2-5 or even 10 kW transmitters) that serve
as beacons that confirm a circuit to various areas.

   Like WWV and CHU.
