This Amateur Radio DX news, Solar Flare info and Contest information is provided by: dxnews.com, spaceweatherlive.com and contestcalendar.com (WA7BNM)
On this page you will find a collection of links from the above site.
Take note of Solar Flares and activity which can be found on the left side of this site under “Band Conditions”, they are a huge part of successful DXing on HF!
Another extremenly important thing to remember is to “LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN” to the DX operators instructions and pay attention if the DX station is working “Split Frequency”! You will never work them if you call on the DX frequency….all you will do is get the rest of the DX community angry at YOU!!
