Grid JO64 Band Conditions — Copenhagen
Localized HF conditions for Maidenhead locator JO64. Coordinating at 54.50°, 13.00°. Updated with real-time telemetry from NOAA and DX cluster reports.
JO64 conditions are POOR. Best bands: 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m. SFI: 104.
From Copenhagen, work the 04:54 UTC and 17:10 UTC grayline windows: probe 20m, 30m, and 40m in the 15 minutes either side while the terminator crosses JO64.
European evening operation usually shifts toward 20m and 40m once the high bands soften.
This square sits in Western/Central Europe footprint and is best used as a planning center for portable, field-day, and home-station band decisions.

● Best DX Windows from JO64 — Copenhagen
Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from JO64 to each DX region at SFI 104 / Kp 0, 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 JO64
A planning heuristic for the local day at JO64, built from sunrise 04:54 UTC, sunset 17:10 UTC, SFI 104, and Kp 0. 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.
Modest SFI — 20m is the daytime workhorse here.
20m and 15m carry the daytime load at this SFI.
Second grayline peak — 20m holds, then hands off to 40m.
Low bands own the darkness — 40m for DX, 80m regional.
