Realtime Cluster Spots in Google-Earth: Live DX Path Plots
This is an interesting application! Realtime Cluster spots visualized in Google Earth! DXers.info (a chat / cluster dedicated to DXing) is providing Live DX Path Plots KMZ-files which are regulary updated.
Cluster-Spots on 20m of the last 4 hours centered on KH8SI – Swains Island
They also provide links to additional layers e.g. the auroral oval.

All bands are analysed and periods coverered are: 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h.

That’s Just Awesome! Rocking!
The only problem here is that I’m on dial-up and bandwidth (huh, if there’s any bandwidth at all ;P) is too low for Google Earth. Amazing screenies!

Yes… Google Earth on a dial up is sort of slow although it works. Maybe reducing detail helps to make at least this application (visualizing cluster spots) acceptable. Additionally as you don´t have to zoom in very much it should work.

DX Path Plots is one of the goodness! I had never thought about such Swains Island can have…!
But I can get – periods coverered are: 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h.
For what are this ‘h’ for ? and how its calculation are?
