QRZ HOURLY SYNC02 / WORLDWIDE CONNECTIONS
Contact map.
Explore M1CNX's QRZ logbook export. The map uses approximate Maidenhead locator centres, not home addresses or precise station locations.

04 / LIVE RADIO INTELLIGENCE
On-air dashboard.
DX Cluster spots, worldwide digital reception, logbook statistics and daylight conditions for M1CNX. Live network data is identified separately from your saved QRZ log.
◉ Live DX Cluster
New DX spots received by the Windows server from DXSpider. Spots are community reports, not contacts worked by M1CNX.
Waiting for the DX Cluster connection…

Source: DXSpider public cluster. Updates every 30 seconds; a server connection and network access are required.
◉ PSK Reporter • Any transmitting callsign
Enter a transmitting callsign to find receiving stations that heard it over the last six hours, then filter by band and mode. All band and mode choices stay available even when no reports have arrived.

Locations are approximate Maidenhead locator centres. Source: PSK Reporter. Data is cached for five minutes; filters apply instantly to reports already loaded. Enter any transmitting callsign and select Search or press Enter. Band and mode filter the returned reception reports. Automatic updates every five minutes.
◉ Logbook statistics & DXCC entities
Calculated from your embedded QRZ export. DXCC-style entity counts are based on exported country labels, not award confirmation status.
| Entity / category | QSOs |

Worked is not the same as confirmed. An authoritative ARRL DXCC count requires validated entity and confirmation data.
◉ Day & night world map
Approximate daylight and darkness, derived from the Sun's current position, updated every ten minutes.
Your location is not displayed yet.
High-resolution greyline, showing a gradual day/night transition calculated from the Sun position.
◉ Solar conditions
Live measurements from NOAA, updated up to every 15 minutes. They describe space weather rather than guaranteed band openings.
