📡 D-REGION ABSORPTION (3/5)
🟡 Moderate (Day)
⏰ Transitional - 06:00Z
💡 Mid bands OK
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: 2
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.

Past 6hr
Current: B4.1
⚪ QUIET
Background levels
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.
