6m Sporadic-E map
6m Sporadic-E Map — Is the Magic Band Open Right Now?
Use this live 6m DX map view to catch Sporadic-E openings before they fade. DXRadar watches Magic Band spot density, recent 6m history, and active regions so you can decide whether to call CQ now or keep monitoring.
6m is open when spot density jumps fast
A real Es opening usually shows a sudden cluster of 6m spots over regional paths. If the status flips to OPENING, check the live map immediately.
A cleaner DX maps view for 6 meters
The dashboard below loads with 6m preselected, so the map starts on the band operators mean when they search for a Sporadic-E propagation map.
Compare 6m against 10m and HF
When 6m is quiet, check 10m status and current band conditions for the best fallback band.
7-day opening history
Higher bars mean heavier 6m spot density, which usually tracks active Sporadic-E windows.
Live 6m activity map
This view loads the live DXRadar dashboard with the Magic Band preselected so you can inspect active 6m paths immediately. Use the layer controls for spots, grayline, and heatmap context.
