● Best DX Windows from EA00 — the EA00 operating area

Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from EA00 to each DX region at SFI 148 / Kp 1, 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 EA00

A planning heuristic for the local day at EA00, built from sunrise no sunrise — polar night, sunset no sunset — polar night, SFI 148, and Kp 1. Not a measurement — a starting point for where to listen as the day turns.

Dawn grayline
around no sunrise — polar night
40m · 30m · 20m

Grayline enhancement — low bands reach long distances as the terminator passes.

Morning
after no sunrise — polar night
20m · 15m · 10m

High bands rising with the sun; check 10m for DX.

Midday

Peak high-band window — 10m and 15m open widest.

Dusk grayline

Second grayline peak — 20m holds, then hands off to 40m.

Night
after no sunset — polar night
40m · 80m

Low bands own the darkness — 40m for DX, 80m regional.

Recent local activity

Spots touching EA00 and the adjacent squares

These are the newest 10m, 15m, and 20m reports where one side of the path sits in EA00, EA01, EA00, EA10, DA90. This gives the page unique, local context instead of a generic solar snapshot.

No fresh PSKReporter paths are cached for the immediate EA00 footprint right now. That usually means you should widen the search to the nearest regional hubs below or fall back to 20m/40m for the next operating window.
