Amateur Radio:  Usable HF Frequencies
 
(page refreshes every 20 minutes)

Use the indicated color (red, yellow, green, blue, white, etc.) to determine the recommended HF frequencies for contacts from your nearest BASE (New York, Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, Kansas City, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle) to a desired location (local region, country, or continent).
Any white "bubble" indicates no suitable frequency or high absorption.

NOTE:  The New York and Seattle BASE images provide a general view of global DX from the U.S.

NOTE:  Right-click on any image to view the image larger (such as in a new tab).
