This is a Game changer we now have more than 40 active #hamradio#HFPropagation sensors installed around the world and more in the pipeline - real-time propagation Data up to the minute 24x7x365 #WSPR
WSPR beacon KH6EJ (Hawaii) is off the air. The site hosting the beacon was severely damaged by Hurricane Lala and may be a total loss. The equipment has been recovered, and a temporary home is being worked on, but the beacon will be offline for the time being.
Here is an example of how WSPR spots are stored in the central DB (11+ billion historic spots) and what information they contain. You can filter by any of these criteria. Everybody can access the DB. FT8 ? Central DB? Historic data? TX powr? Drift? spotQ?
The window for easy DX is slowly closing. 🌅
We had a phenomenal run — SC25 blew past all predictions. But the descent has started, and the next solar minimum is coming. Efficient low-band antennas and a proper station setup become more important than ever. 73
Be careful when looking at MUF Maps. While the guessing process is pretty good in areas that are closer to the measurement stations, the uncertainty (error) is much higher in areas that are far away from any measurements
📉 10m band DX down 31% year-over-year. SC25 is descending.
🔹 Spots/TX: 2,132 → 1,480 (▼31%)
🔹 SFI: 188 → 135 (▼28%)
🔹 Ap: 10.4 → 10.1 (flat)
Nearly identical geomagnetic conditions — the decline is pure solar flux. The F2 MUF is losing its grip on 28 MHz long-haul paths.
