What grid square is the KR94 operating area?

KR94 is the live DXRadar reference square for the KR94 operating area. The exact portable or home QTH may vary within the square, but this page tracks the center of KR94 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.

Sunrise 02:25 UTC

Sunset 16:10 UTC from KR94

From the KR94 operating area, work the 02:25 UTC and 16:10 UTC grayline windows: probe 20m, 30m, and 40m in the 15 minutes either side while the terminator crosses KR94.

Best band now

10m

Night operation should keep 20m on watch and move to 40m as the path darkens.

● Best DX Windows from KR94 — the KR94 operating area

Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from KR94 to each DX region at SFI 105 / Kp 0.33, 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 KR94

A planning heuristic for the local day at KR94, built from sunrise 02:25 UTC, sunset 16:10 UTC, SFI 105, and Kp 0.33. Not a measurement — a starting point for where to listen as the day turns.

Dawn grayline

around 02:25 UTC

40m · 30m · 20m

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

after 02:25 UTC

20m · 15m

Modest SFI — 20m is the daytime workhorse here.

Midday

Spots touching KR94 and the adjacent squares

These are the newest 10m, 15m, and 20m reports where one side of the path sits in KR94, KR95, KR93, LR04, KR84. This gives the page unique, local context instead of a generic solar snapshot.

No fresh PSKReporter paths are cached for the immediate KR94 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.
