Ham Stream: Live HF Propagation, Solar Weather, DX Spots, and Repeater Finder for Amateur Radio Operators

Ham Stream is a free, real-time amateur radio dashboard for HF, VHF, and UHF operators. Monitor live solar flux (SFI), K-index, A-index, X-ray flux, solar wind, and geomagnetic conditions sourced from NOAA SWPC and N0NBH HamQSL. View predicted band conditions for 160 meters through 6 meters, day and night.

Browse live DX cluster spots from DXSummit, reception reports from PSKReporter, and WSPR propagation visualization on an interactive world map. Find local repeaters with the built-in finder, complete with CHIRP CSV export for direct programming of Baofeng, Yaesu, Icom, and Kenwood handhelds and mobile rigs.

Look up amateur radio band plans for the United States (FCC 47 CFR Part 97), United Kingdom (Ofcom IR 2030), Germany (BNetzA), Australia (ACMA), Japan (JARL), Canada, and other countries. Includes digital mode dial frequencies for FT8, FT4, JS8Call, PSK31, RTTY, CW, and SSB calling segments by IARU region.

Built-in RF toolbox includes calculators for half-wave dipole, inverted-V, end-fed half-wave (EFHW), quarter-wave vertical, Yagi beam, full-wave loop, coax feedline loss, ugly balun choke, balun and unun ratio, quarter-wave impedance matching transformer, VSWR to return loss conversion, L-network matching, FCC OET-65 RF exposure compliance, and battery runtime estimation for popular ham handheld and mobile radios.

Operated by William Henson, N1NJA. Designed for amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners, emergency communicators (ARES, RACES, SKYWARN), and anyone interested in HF propagation and the ionosphere.

Keywords: ham radio, amateur radio, HF propagation, propagation forecast, solar weather, K-index, A-index, solar flux, geomagnetic storm, DX cluster, DXSummit, PSKReporter, WSPR, band conditions, repeater finder, CHIRP CSV, CHIRP export, FCC band plan, IARU band plan, antenna calculator, dipole calculator, RF exposure calculator, OET-65, EM12, Dallas, Texas, real-time radio dashboard.
