Band	Frequency	Rating	Timing	Confidence	Spots	Best Mode	Open Paths
6m	50.0–54.0 MHz	Closed	Opens in ~4h	50 %	0	FT8
⚠ The "Magic Band": normal propagation is closed, but surprise Sporadic-E openings can appear with no warning (and aren't predicted here).
10m	28.0–29.7 MHz	Poor	Opens in ~2h	61 %	332	FT8
⚠ Closed overnight — high bands follow the sun and need daylight to open.
12m	24.89–24.99 MHz	Poor	Opens in ~2h	61 %	168	FT8
⚠ Closed overnight — high bands follow the sun and need daylight to open.
15m	21.0–21.45 MHz	Poor	Opens in ~1h	61 %	211	FT8
⚠ Closed overnight — these bands live on daylight. They reopen a few hours after sunrise.
17m	18.068–18.168 MHz	Good	Approaching peak (~3h)	61 %	81	SSB/FT8/CW	EU, SA, JA, AF
⚠ Closed overnight — these bands live on daylight. They reopen a few hours after sunrise.
20m	14.0–14.35 MHz	Fair	Approaching peak	61 %	278	SSB/FT8/CW
⚠ Hanging on past sunset — a late long-haul opening may still be workable.
30m	10.1–10.15 MHz	Good	Night — good DX window	79 %	92	FT8/JS8 (digital only)	EU, AF, JA
⚠ A steady, low-key band — good for digital DX (FT8/CW) while the higher bands sleep.
40m	7.0–7.3 MHz	Excellent		100 %	292	SSB/CW/FT8	EU, AF, JA, VK
⚠ Prime time: after dark the absorbing layer disappears and this band opens wide for DX.
60m	5.330–5.405 MHz	Excellent		50 %	0	SSB/CW/FT8
⚠ Prime time: after dark the absorbing layer disappears and this band opens wide for DX.
80m	3.5–4.0 MHz	Excellent		31 %	13	SSB/CW/FT8
⚠ Prime time: after dark the absorbing layer disappears and this band opens wide for DX.
160m	1.8–2.0 MHz	Fair		42 %	4	CW/FT8
⚠ Workable after dark, but rough.
