Fourteen frequencies, watched continuously since 1998

Signal strength, drift and recordings for the northern shortwave network. The band strip above is the live one; it is not a screenshot.

Continuous

Nothing is sampled

Three receivers cover the whole 49, 41 and 31 metre bands without gaps. Every second of every scheduled window is recorded, not polled.

Peaks

Anomalies are kept

Anything more than 15 dB over the local noise floor is flagged, retained indefinitely and shown on the propagation matrix within a minute.

Open

The archive is public

Twenty-eight years of logs and eight years of audio. No key, no rate limit worth mentioning, and bulk archives by year.

How to get it
  • /v1/band/liveCurrent tuning, signal and drift for all three receivers
  • /v1/log?from=&to=Reception log entries, up to a year per request
  • /v1/peaksEverything above the flag threshold, newest first
  • /archive/2026.tar.zstA whole year of audio and logs, 61 GB

If you are pulling the whole archive nightly, use the bulk file. It is cheaper for both of us and it is the same data.
