What grid square is Zagreb?

JN65 is the live DXRadar reference square for Zagreb. The exact portable or home QTH may vary within the square, but this page tracks the center of JN65 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 band now

10m

10m and 15m typically deliver the most consistent Europe outbound DX while solar flux remains healthy.

● Best DX Windows from JN65 — Zagreb

Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from JN65 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.

Recent local activity

Spots touching JN65 and the adjacent squares

These are the newest 10m, 15m, and 20m reports where one side of the path sits in JN65, JN66, JN64, JN75, JN55. This gives the page unique, local context instead of a generic solar snapshot.

No fresh PSKReporter paths are cached for the immediate JN65 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.
