Hi Mike!

The most accessible website I have found for solar reporting is at the
following link, especially the second table (Three Day SFI and A-index
Forecast).  Indeed, apparently today should be an awesome day with SFI, A
and K at 126, 7 and 1.  Incidentally, I have never seen the K Index as low
as it can go - "1" today.

Subject: Measuring propagation

Hi all: 

What's the best source for measuring propagation, K index or others? 
Is there a formula to work with or if you use the K index, the lower the
better and the higher the other index the better? 
I think the K is around 4 and I just listened to our locall 75M traffic net
on an online receiver based in England and signals were very strong. 1 of
the check ins reported a K index of 4 and I think the other index he
referenced was the A and it was 120 I think.LOL Also what's a good blind
friendly site where these can be tracked? 

TNX and 73:
