What grid square is the EH44 operating area?

EH44 is the live DXRadar reference square for the EH44 operating area. The exact portable or home QTH may vary within the square, but this page tracks the center of EH44 for planning propagation.

How do I find my grid square?

Use a Maidenhead grid lookup from your GPS coordinates or street address, then compare that grid with the nearby squares linked on this page. A 4-character grid is enough for most HF planning.

● Best DX Windows from EH44 — the EH44 operating area

Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from EH44 to each DX region at SFI 105 / Kp 0.67, 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.
