RF Boneyard interpretation of live solar-cycle strength, sunspot/radio-flux energy, geomagnetic quietness, and current upper-HF response.

Upper-HF Fire Meter
Warming
Custom skip-energy readout focused on 10 meters and 11 meters — the bands that make operators say, “the air is alive.”

ELEVATED
Good operating energy. Repair stock and old HF/CB gear matter more when bands open.

Waking Up
Solar-cycle skip band. Best when SFI and sunspots are up and Kp is quiet.
Waking Up
CB/11-meter skip personality. Watch this one when upper HF starts glowing.
Active
Reliable DX benchmark band. Often the steady worker even when 10m sleeps.
Active
Evening and nighttime workhorse. Storms can make it noisy.
Waking Up
Night-path and regional band. Noise and geomagnetic activity matter.

What This Means
RF Boneyard propagation estimates are based on live NOAA/SWPC solar and geomagnetic data. Actual conditions vary by location, antenna, time of day, season, equipment, and local noise. This page uses live public NOAA/SWPC space-weather feeds where available, then caches results locally for about 10 minutes so RF Boneyard stays fast.
