I’ve been experimenting with a new tool that visualizes HF propagation in real time using live data from multiple networks — WSPRnet, Reverse Beacon Network, PSK Reporter, and various DX Clusters.
The result is https://dxlook.com, a site designed to give amateur radio operators a visual feel for current band conditions. You can filter by band (10m–160m), mode (Digital, CW, SSB), and perspective grid (your QTH), and it builds a live propagation heatmap around that location.
The site offers a few different ways to look at things:
• Summary View shows signal activity aggregated by grid square — a quick glance at where things are happening.
• Cluster View centers everything around your location (or any 4-character grid you choose) so you can see where signals are going to and from in your area.
• MUF View (still in beta) estimates maximum usable frequency zones based on actual reported paths — a dynamic take on real-time band openings.
There’s also a compact Band Conditions widget that pulls in solar data (SFI, A/K, SN) and gives a per-band outlook (Good/Fair/Poor) based on time of day. Plus, a handy “Find My Grid” button makes it easy to auto-locate your current grid square without needing to look it up.
It’s built by a ham (me — AK6FP) and is completely free to use — no accounts, no distractions. Just open it and explore. I’m actively improving the site based on community feedback, so if you have ideas, I’d love to hear them.
Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think: https://dxlook.com
