My recorded transmissions
The latest 50 reported transmissions. An activity history, not a confirmed QSO log.
No transmissions recorded yet. New network reports appear here automatically.
How DMR activity is recorded
A talkgroup is not a verified contact. Older RadioID reports appear above as the last known activity.
The monitor records transmissions reported by BrandMeister for my DMR ID. A transmission start activates the indicator; a reported end clears it. Network interruptions or missing end events can limit coverage. Other digital networks and direct radio contacts without a network connection are not covered here.
D-STAR & NXDN
Last-heard transmissions. Timestamps show when a report was recorded, not a current transmission status.
Sources & coverage
D-StarUsers covers participating D-STAR gateways and reflectors over the last hour. FreeSTAR supplies NXDN reports from its connected sources over the last 48 hours. A missing report therefore does not mean offline. Network bridges can relay reports; the original RF path is not established.
Loaded when visible or refreshed manually; sources are checked by the server at most every five minutes. A report already found for my station stays in memory after leaving the public window. This is not a complete archive and does not add entries to the QSO log.

Last network report according to BrandMeisterWhat this report means
A network report is not proof of transmission or a QSO. Local Pi-Star health and ongoing conversations are not monitored here. Direct access to Pi-Star/MMDVM measurements is not configured; local device temperature and uptime remain unavailable.

Start of the 3-hour interval (estimate)No current reading to interpret.
Kp explained
Kp describes global geomagnetic disturbance over a three-hour interval. NOAA’s storm scale starts at Kp 5. These changes can affect ionospheric radio paths; Kp alone cannot tell you whether your contact will succeed.

Daily noon observation at PentictonNo current reading to interpret.
F10.7 explained
F10.7 measures solar radio emission at a wavelength of 10.7 cm. It indicates solar activity and is used in ionospheric models. A high value does not guarantee an open HF band; time of day, path and geomagnetic conditions also matter.

Observation timeNo current reading to interpret.
Solar wind speed explained
Plasma speed upstream of Earth. Together with magnetic field and density, it helps put geomagnetic changes in context. Not a measurement of your local radio conditions.

Observation timeNo current reading to interpret.
Proton density explained
Number of protons per cubic centimetre in the solar wind. Interpret alongside speed and magnetic field; not a standalone indicator of an open band.

—nTNot loaded yet
Observation timeNo current reading to interpret.
Bz explained
North–south component of the interplanetary magnetic field. Negative values point south. This orientation can favour coupling to Earth’s magnetic field; one value is not an aurora forecast.

NOAA report timeNo current reading to interpret.
Radio blackout · R scale explained
NOAA’s latest reported level for solar X-ray events. Impacts particularly affect HF on Earth’s sunlit side. Level 0 means below R1, not guaranteed interference-free reception.

—Not loaded yet
NOAA report timeNo current reading to interpret.
Solar radiation storm · S scale explained
NOAA’s latest reported level for energetic solar protons. Elevated levels can affect polar HF paths. Level 0 means below S1. This is the observation, not a forecast.
Source: NOAA SWPC ↗What is changing?
After loading, explore actual 6- and 24-hour histories of solar wind, Bz and Kp. Missing observations remain visible as gaps.
Sources, observation times & validity
Solar wind readings come from NOAA’s active source. Their observation times can differ; they are not forecasts shifted to arrival at Earth. R and S show observed levels from 0 to 5.
Validity: BrandMeister retrieval 2 min · Kp 6 h · F10.7 36 h · solar wind, density and Bz 15 min · R/S 30 min. NOAA expiry runs from the source timestamp. A reading alone does not guarantee an open band.

0° is the horizon, 90° directly overhead. A high pass rises further above buildings and mountains.
No positions or times are shown without recent orbital data.
Geometric passes, not confirmed radio activity or naked-eye visibility. Terrain, illumination and clouds are not included.
Orbital data & calculation
Reference: centre of the public JN47db grid, sea level as the calculation reference. SGP4 using Satellite.js and CelesTrak orbital data. Up to four passes reaching at least 10° peak elevation in the next 24 hours. Times are estimates and can change with orbital manoeuvres.
Orbital data is retrieved by the server at most every two hours. Position is recalculated locally every five seconds while this section is visible. Data older than 72 hours is excluded from predictions.
