Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free ham-radio dashboard that estimates which bands may be open using NOAA space-weather data, alongside heard-transmission reports and a station log.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Amateur-radio operators choosing a band
Worth noticing: It separates legal licence privileges from voluntary ARRL band-plan edges and says local band plans take precedence.

Field notes

Operators can set a grid or use their location and select Technician, General, or Extra privileges. The page says its band limits draw on 47 CFR §97.301, while internal sub-band edges follow the voluntary ARRL band plan and local plans take precedence. It also cautions that the tool does not verify a licence; the extracted live-result fields contain dashes.
