The bands should have been super fantastic today according to the propagation reports, but I sure didn't hear very much. Did any of you?

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. http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/ HTH & 73, Richard KK6MRH -----Original Message----- From: For blind ham radio operators [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Michael Ryan Sent: Monday, December 14, 2015 2:50 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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?
