This chart may show how interest in HF propagation updates fluctuates over several years.
Periods of sharply increased visits align with major ionospheric disturbances—often reflected by
elevated Kp index values. When geomagnetic activity disrupts HF radio communication,
operators tend to seek real‑time information, leading to noticeable surges in traffic.
