Grid CP58 Band Conditions — Canada
Localized HF conditions for Maidenhead locator CP58. Coordinating at 68.50°, -129.00°. Updated with real-time telemetry from NOAA and DX cluster reports.
CP58 conditions are FAIR. Best bands: 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m. SFI: 137.
From Canada operating area, work the 09:31 UTC and 07:55 UTC grayline windows: probe 20m, 30m, and 40m in the 15 minutes either side while the terminator crosses CP58.
After sunset, 20m transitions and 40m becomes the reliable DX fallback from this part of North America.
This square sits in Canada footprint and is best used as a planning center for portable, field-day, and home-station band decisions.

● Best DX Windows from CP58 — Canada operating area
Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from CP58 to each DX region at SFI 137 / Kp 3, and a current verdict. "Open now" means a suitable band is scoring well on that path; "Try ~HH:MM" points at the next far-end grayline. Band picks and status are a planning heuristic, not a measurement.

● Band-by-Time Plan for CP58
A planning heuristic for the local day at CP58, built from sunrise 09:31 UTC, sunset 07:55 UTC, SFI 137, and Kp 3. Not a measurement — a starting point for where to listen as the day turns.
Grayline enhancement — low bands reach long distances as the terminator passes.
High bands rising with the sun; check 10m for DX.
Peak high-band window — 10m and 15m open widest.
Second grayline peak — 20m holds, then hands off to 40m.
Low bands own the darkness — 40m for DX, 80m regional.
