BloomWX Ham Shack — Solar, Geomag, MUF, DX Cluster Dashboard

BloomWX Ham Shack — Solar, Geomag, MUF, DX Cluster DashboardA wall-mount dashboard for amateur-radio operators — live solar flux + K-index, HF band conditions, ionosonde MUF heatmap, DX target with beam heading, POTA + DX cluster activity, DXpeditions, contests, SWPC alerts.The Ham Shack at bloomwx.com/ham is BloomWX's wall-mount dashboard for amateur-radio operators. It packs the numbers an operator glances at every QSO — solar flux, geomagnetic state, HF band conditions, live ionosonde MUF, DX cluster activity, and DXpedition / contest schedules — onto a single 1080p kiosk screen.What's on the page

Header: BloomWX logo, your callsign (click to set), UTC + local clocks. Your QTH grid, sunrise/sunset, moon phase, and current weather sit beneath the logo.

DX Target strip: Pick a target grid (or click the map). We compute short-path bearing, long-path, distance, local time at target, sun status, weather there, and the predicted MUF for the path — color-coded by how open the path is.

Solar & geomag tiles: SFI, Sunspot Number, K-index (with A-index + state), X-ray class, Solar wind, Bz, M-flare probability, Aurora chance.

HF band conditions: Day / night condition for each band (80m through 6m) given current SFI and K.

3-day Kp forecast: Mini bar chart of SWPC-predicted Kp out 72 hours.

Global ionosphere map: Live foF2 → MUF readings from worldwide GIRO ionosondes, IDW-interpolated into a continuous heatmap. Your QTH and target marked; great-circle arc between.

Live activity panel (2x2 grid): POTA spots, Band-activity heatmap, DXpeditions, Contests. Click DXpedition rows to set as target; click contest rows for full details.

SWPC alerts ticker: Marquee of NOAA alerts. Click to open Solar tab.

Map row: D-RAP absorption, Aurora 30-min, SUVI 195A, LASCO C3, SWX overview.

SetupClick the callsign center-header to set your station identity (saved in browser, never sent anywhere). Allow geolocation OR click "Set grid" to enter your Maidenhead grid manually. Once your QTH is set, every panel computes paths, sun times, weather, and propagation relative to your location.Part of the BloomWX learn library — beginner-friendly explainers covering every surface of the BloomWX weather dashboard.
