[SFDXA] Realtime Band Conditions

[Norm Alexander]

Interesting and maybe useful but I could not see how to interpret it in a meaningful way.  I find 'listening' to the band as one of the best prop. predictors, another source is the spot distribution for a station or area of interest.  Not quite realtime, accept when postings are realtime the Clublog contacts per hour and band charts from the zone you are in are very good forecast info for time and band decisions.  Finally I find Propagation forecast tools such as VoCap built into my logging program surprisingly good.

From Tony N2MFT:


      Realtime Band Conditions Web Site

The purpose of this experimental Web site is to provide 24-7-365 
actual (REALTIME) band condition information to CW QRPp, QRPe and CW/SSB 
for Contesters interested in increasing their scores. It can also be 
of benefit to other Radio Amateurs to determine band conditions for 
Nets and casual QSO’s. This information is NOT based on any software 
pre-dictions or any kind of satellite based readings. It is based on 
a new Ionospheric sounding method called “HF Ionospheric 
Interferometry” which operates very similarly to the PolSAR system used 
by NASA.
