Live HF Propagation Maps and Charts
|
Regional Propagation Maps
based on ham activity and ionosondes. Pros: Shows geographical distribution. Cons: Implicit info about disruptions!
Recent Ham Activity (160-6 m)
 Recent MUF Map (ionosondes)  Live LUF map calculated by D-Rap model 24-hour HF Planner point-to-point QSO |
Global Conditions Charts based on solar-terrestrial data. Pros: Comm. disruptions at a glance. Cons: No geographical distribution! Recent R-S-G reports  More Space weather reports Recent solar flares |
One of the best tools to forecast HF (high-frequency) propagation is the online map shown below.
It is a graphical representation of MUF within a 3000-kilometer range, allowing amateur radio station operators to estimate the best frequencies and paths for effective communication.

The project "Understanding HF Propagation," focuses on near-real-time maps (charts) and explains what they mean.
