HF Band Conditions

Band Day Night Ideal Hours (UTC) Notes
80m-40m Good Good 19:00 - 02:00 (Night Peak) | 02:00 - 04:00 (Gray Line) Detecting location... Popular bands for local and regional communication
30m-20m Good Good 05:00 - 11:00 (Day Peak) | 02:00-04:00 & 16:00-18:00 (Gray Line) Detecting location... Excellent for long-distance communication during daylight
17m-15m Fair Fair 06:00 - 09:00 (Day - Limited) Detecting location... Good for worldwide communication during daylight
12m-10m Poor Poor No ideal hours (SFI >120 required for reliable openings) Detecting location... Best during high solar activity, excellent for worldwide communication
