Title: Propagation Index Rarity 12/08/07
Post by: Tom WA3KLR on December 08, 2007, 05:30:49 PM
You'll rarely see this - the A and K indices both at zero:

08-Dec-2007 at 2106 UTC
SFI = 87   A = 0   K = 0

Is there a link to some  site that will describe the A and K indexes and explain them?
I have no idea what they mean.

Another reason to use the Firefox browser:http://www.n0hr.com/Propfire.htm (http://www.n0hr.com/Propfire.htm)

This is an add on that gives you an up to the minute propagation report in your browser status bar.

had a path to California to KZ6AM around 8:30 est. then a very flat conditions most of the night. The normal paths to the midwest were down, but did work Deano around 0300 am and heard an Italian corntest dgoing on when I looked at 3705 kHz. Did get an email from F6AQK when I was calling trying to break through the EU wall.

Maybe better tonite?
