Radio Propagation Conditions![]()
Check here for a real-time report on global solar and propagation conditions, in graphical form, including calculated MUFs, foF2 critical frequency measurements from Australia, solar flux measurements from Canada, and a complete history of the current and previous solar sunspot cycle. Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Environment Center View current North Polar aurora conditions - in real-time - courtesy of auroral radar at the University of Alaska. Also view the boundaries of the aurora - measured in real-time by satellites, or follow the link at the page bottom to European aurora conditions. If you chase DX, you know that interesting propagation conditions often form along the so called "gray line" marking the boundary between day and night. You can view the current day/night boundaries, in real-time. From the Australian Space Forecast Centre. Covers both Australia and the southern hemisphere and now includes real-time data for North America. Excellent data resource and graphical representation of current conditions. By Larry Phillips, KC7LVZ, 6 July 1998, Special to Ham Radio Online In this story, KC7LVZ explains the meaning of the solar flux values, A-Index, K-index and the earth's geomagnetic field. Use this reference to help you interpret the radio propagation report. Text report from the Space Environment Laboratory of the U.S. government.
