Conditions are quiet with Kp at 1.0; all HF paths stable including polar routes.
Inter-UK (0–500 km)40m and 60m both in the skip zone; 80m is the reliable choice for inter-UK contacts — night-time skywave extends 80m coverage well beyond groundwave range. foF2 at 4.0 MHz.
European short-skip (500–1500 km)40m is open for European short-skip (Germany, France, Scandinavia). MUF(1000) at 8.0 MHz.
DX (1500+ km)20m, 15m and 10m all closed for DX — MUF(3000) at 11.4 MHz is below typical long-path requirements.
Night-time— D-layer has collapsed; 160m and 80m open for DX while higher bands close as foF2 drops. Low bands will strengthen through the night as the ionosphere recovers.
