Description
Request preparation
- I used an AI assistant to help structure this request
- I checked for existing issues covering the same feature
What would you like?
I continue to use GridTracker2 for only 2 reasons:
- FT8/FT4 band activity bar chart
- HF band conditions graphic
FT8/FT4 band activity chart
It's a quick visual aid of what bands see activity -- not 100% accurate but relative so I know where to start my "hunt".
HF band conditions graphic
Standard visual aid pulling data from https://www.hamqsl.com/
Another quick way to determine with the band activity above to start my day.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Qt6 desktop UI and the existing sources for FT8/FT4 activity, then review hamqsl.com for the HF conditions data. Done means both requested visual aids are available in AetherSDR and provide the relative band-activity and HF-conditions views described.
