Schedules for Global HF Weekend

I'll add test schedules here as I receive them. Update 4/2: A lot of stations have been on the air specifically for the Global HF Weekend, but few are sending in advance schedules. That's fine, but I'm mentioning it here because there's still radio to listen for--even if it's not scheduled. Also, one test didn't work out; I received an e-mail from a station at 3 AM my time (0700 UTC), asking what frequency to use. I was asleep and couldn't post it here. Sorry about that!

Friday
6930 kHz, 2200-1400 UTC

Saturday
6285 or 6300, 1200+ UTC
6930 kHz, 2200-1400 UTC
15070 kHz, 1430+ UTC

Sunday
6285 or 6300, 1200+ UTC
6930 kHz, 2200-1400 UTC

Reminder to European hobbyists, unlike past years, transatlantic conditions are looking best between 0330 and 0630 UTC on 6 MHz, so any success with these signals might require getting up in the middle of the night. But I've been looking at the propagation to other parts of the world and the high frequencies are looking good.

We'll see as the weekend transpires.

  2. Hi Alokesh, Thanks for the interest! I'm sure that many will be happy to know that you're listening. On the blog entry for Propagation, MUF, and long-distance radio for the Global HF Weekend, I included a graph for the Northeast U.S. to New Dehli. Maybe I'll do another page like this for links between Europe and other locations. Hope it helps & have a great weekend! Andrew
