● Best DX Windows from DM65 — Albuquerque
Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from DM65 to each DX region at SFI 137 / Kp 2, 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 DM65
A planning heuristic for the local day at DM65, built from sunrise 12:09 UTC, sunset 02:21 UTC, SFI 137, and Kp 2. 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.
