As reported to WSPRnet (via wspr.live) and PSK Reporter, not filtered – a wrong locator shows up as an odd path. HF data comes from WSPR only.

About HF

On HF, propagation mostly follows the F2 layer: the solar flux and the K index decide which bands are open by day and by night. The table below shows the band conditions from hamqsl.com, and the WSPR paths show which directions are open right now.

10 m (28 MHz) also gets sporadic-E in summer, like 6 m, and is often the first sign of an Es opening on the higher bands.
