On the Air

Who's on the air right now.

A live list of HFConverse operators announcing activity from the app. Frequencies are in kHz and labelled by mode: PACTOR rows show centre frequency (CF) — set your dial 1.5 kHz below the CF for a standard SCS 1500 Hz tone — every other mode (RTTY and so on) shows the dial frequency directly, ready to tune as-is.

Announcing is opt-in and done from within the HFConverse app — this page just shows what operators have chosen to publish. The list refreshes automatically.

Get a push when a station comes up

Pick a callsign, or any callsign, and a band, or any band. Your phone or desktop gets a notification when that station appears on the On the Air list in PACTOR, or moves to a new band.

  1. Create a Pushover account and install the Pushover app on your phone or desktop.
  2. Log in to alerts with your email — no password, we send you a one-time link.
  3. Paste your Pushover user key, add your rules, and send a test alert.

Pushover is a one-time payment of US$4.99 per platform (iPhone/iPad, Android or desktop), paid to Pushover — not to HFConverse. PACTOR spots only for now.
