Hi Jim!

That's pretty neat. At one stage, the speak to me button actually gave me a
barely understandable forecast.

Gosh but synthetic speech is dreadful!

Pity none of this stuff uses Eloquence so that what it tells could be
understable enough to be usable, hi hi.

Here's another interesting site that gives band conditions on a scale of 1
to 100:
http://bandconditions.com

It's not totally accessible but you can hit the "speak to me" button and a
Microsoft SAPI   file will play and give you the score for each band.

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.

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?
