The DXrobot - Spots e-skip and aurora alerts
Automatic E-skip and aurora alerts for VHF bands, plus DX cluster spots via email.
Description
The DXrobot, operational since 1999, offers a free, non-commercial service primarily for the VHF ham radio community. It specializes in automatic real-time E-skip warnings for 144 MHz in both Europe and North America, delivered via email or SMS. Additionally, the system provides automatic aurora alerts for 50, 70, and 144 MHz openings through the same notification methods.
Beyond real-time alerts, the DXrobot facilitates the reception of the latest DX-cluster spots via email, a feature useful for operators without immediate WWW or cluster access. The service also displays recent E-skip and aurora spots detected by the DXrobot on 50, 70, and 144 MHz, with updates every five minutes. Historical data includes lists of all DX spots from the previous day on 50, 70, and 144 MHz, updated daily.
Key propagation data, such as MUF timeline, Solar X-rays, Geomagnetic Field, and Estimated Kp index, are also presented.
