Real-time DX cluster spots, WSPR, and EME data visualized on interactive maps.
Description
DXMaps.com presents a dynamic, real-time mapping service for amateur radio DX spots, integrating data from traditional DX clusters, PSK Reporter, and WSPR networks. The platform visually plots global QSO and SWL activity, enabling users to observe propagation conditions across various bands, from 2200m to >450 MHz. It offers distinct overlays such as the magnetic equator, gray line, moon footprint for EME, and VOACAP propagation predictions, providing a comprehensive view of radio wave behavior.
The service allows granular filtering of displayed spots, including options to show only DX-Cluster data, PSK Reporter activity, or WSPR signals. Users can refine the map view by selecting specific bands (e.g., 160m, 20m, 6m, 2m), limiting spots to the last 15 minutes, or displaying only contacts exceeding 2600 km. Additional features include the ability to toggle grid squares, aurora forecasts, and various amateur radio zones (CQ, ITU).
Distinctively, the resource updates automatically every minute, ensuring current propagation intelligence without manual refresh. It also supports specialized views for EME, ionospheric scatter, and aircraft scatter, alongside FM DX and APRS activity. The platform emphasizes the importance of accurate locator information in DX spots to enhance data quality and offers a user manual and FAQ for guidance.
