📡 D-REGION ABSORPTION (3/5)
🟢 Low (Night)

⏰ Low nighttime - 04:30Z
💡 All bands good

Real-time HF absorption from solar X-rays
🔴Red=High (HF challenging) 🟡Yellow=Moderate 🟢Green/Blue=Low (HF good)
Higher absorption = lower frequencies work better

🌌 AURORA FORECAST (4/5)
⚪ QUIET

Power: 14.0 GW
K-index: 1
Minimal

📻 Normal VHF

🟢Green=2m/6m scatter possible 🟡Yellow=Enhanced 🔴Red=Intense aurora
Point antennas north, use SSB/CW modes. Best during K≥4 activity.

☀️ X-RAY FLUX (5/5)
Past 6hr

Current: C1.2
🟢 SMALL FLARE

Minimal impact

Flare Classes: X=Major (HF blackouts) M=Medium (regional HF degradation) C=Minor (slight absorption) B=Weak (normal)
Red line=0.1-0.8nm Cyan=0.05-0.4nm. Spikes=flares causing radio blackouts. Higher flux=worse HF.
