Ham band conditions
Ham radio band conditions are ever-changing characteristics of radio frequency bands assigned to amateurs, influencing signal propagation, communication quality, and range. These conditions are influenced by factors like time of day, geographical location, solar activity, space weather, and geomagnetic storms. Operators monitor these conditions to determine the best bands for their communication needs. Click here for explanatory charts of the current conditions.
The project "Understanding HF Propagation" focuses on near-real-time indicators and explains what they mean.
