What grid square is the RO92 operating area?

RO92 is the live DXRadar reference square for the RO92 operating area. The exact portable or home QTH may vary within the square, but this page tracks the center of RO92 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.

What bands are open in RO92 right now?

RO92 is currently rated FAIR. The best bands right now are 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m, with 10m as the main band to watch first.

Sunrise 17:51 UTC

Sunset 06:04 UTC from RO92

From the RO92 operating area, work the 17:51 UTC and 06:04 UTC grayline windows: probe 20m, 30m, and 40m in the 15 minutes either side while the terminator crosses RO92.

Best band now

10m

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

● Best DX Windows from RO92 — the RO92 operating area

Great-circle distance, short-path beam heading, the bands most likely open right now from RO92 to each DX region at SFI 115 / 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.

● Band-by-Time Plan for RO92

A planning heuristic for the local day at RO92, built from sunrise 17:51 UTC, sunset 06:04 UTC, SFI 115, and Kp 0.67. Not a measurement — a starting point for where to listen as the day turns.

Spots touching RO92 and the adjacent squares

These are the newest 10m, 15m, and 20m reports where one side of the path sits in RO92, RO93, RO91, AO02, RO82. This gives the page unique, local context instead of a generic solar snapshot.

No fresh PSKReporter paths are cached for the immediate RO92 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.
