Privileges are exact; conditions are an estimate. The frequencies and modes shown for your license class come straight from FCC Part 97 (§97.301, §97.305, §97.313) and don't change. The condition ratings (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor) are propagation estimates based on solar flux, K-index, and time of day — useful for planning, but not a guarantee. Always check the band is clear before transmitting.
