DX-Now: Real-time activity in grid JO
| Band | Mode | Score | Spots | Tx | Rx |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40m | FT8 (+FT4) | 4065 | 756 | 6 | 43 |
| 20m | FT4 (+FT8) | 590 | 99 | 1 | 9 |
| 10m | FT8 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Mode = Predominant operating mode on this band; modes shown in parentheses are also used (+FT4, +CW, …).
TX = Number of actively transmitting stations in your grid · green scaled relative to the highest TX value. High TX = good to call CQ.
RX = Number of received/decoded stations · blue scaled relative to the highest RX value. High RX = good for listening.
Bolded values mark high activity (at least 60% of the column maximum).
Please note: We always use the two-digit grid here (even if your current grid has four) because experience has shown that it provides more meaningful results.
