DXLook

DXLook is a free, community-driven project that visualizes real-time HF and VHF propagation data for amateur radio operators.

It consists of two sites:
- 🌎 dxlook.com — focused on HF propagation, combining data from PSK Reporter, WSPRnet, RBN, DX Cluster, and POTA.
- 📡 vhf.dxlook.com — dedicated to VHF propagation, powered by live APRS-IS packets and real-world signal paths.

Every day, DXLook receives, processes, and displays over 30 million HF reception reports (QSOs) and around 6 million APRS packets — all rendered through interactive, real-time maps.

🔭 Main Views

• Summary – Aggregates propagation by band, showing global coverage areas and activity levels.
  
• Clusters – Groups individual reports to visualize active regions and SNR intensity in real time.
  
• MUF – Displays estimated Maximum Usable Frequency zones based on real signal paths.
  
• Reports – Shows detailed, real-time point-to-point propagation paths between stations.
  
• POTA – Maps active Parks on the Air activations and their propagation footprints.
  
• QSO – Lets users upload and visualize their own ADIF log files to see where and how far they’ve been heard.

⚡ Band Conditions

DXLook includes a live Band Conditions widget summarizing current space weather, SFI, K/A indices, and overall HF band openings.
Recently, we introduced Personalized Band Conditions, which adjust band recommendations based on the user’s grid locator, providing a more local and accurate view of real propagation potential.

Your support helps cover hosting, database, and maintenance costs — keeping both DXLook sites online, improving, and free for all HAMs worldwide.

Thank you for helping keep this project on the air! 📡
