About
Know when a band opens from where you are. HAMSignal watches live NOAA solar data and tells you when HF conditions improve at your QTH — not just when a storm hits. Set your callsign and grid once, and your phone (or Apple Watch) buzzes when 10m, 15m, or 20m opens. BAND-OPENING ALERTS • Push notification when a band opens from your grid square, day or night • Based on live SFI, K-index, and A-index, with a day/night model per band • Especially useful on 10m for Technician licensees, and more valuable as Solar Cycle 25 declines and openings get rarer LIVE CONDITIONS • All HF bands rated open, fair, or closed for day and night at your location • SFI, K-index, A-index, X-ray flux, and solar wind from NOAA SWPC • 27-day NOAA forecast and historical trends • Grey line / terminator map with your local sunrise and sunset • Point-to-point path predictor with MUF/LUF and best band WHAT CAN I WORK RIGHT NOW?
