Solar Flux [ HIGH is GOOD ]
70 NOT GOOD 80 GOOD 90 BETTER 100+ BEST Higher Solar Flux generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; Solar Flux rarely affects the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands. ranging (linearly) typically from 1-100 but theoretically up to 400. A Index [ LOW is GOOD ]
1 to 6 is BEST 7 to 9 is OK 11 or more is BAD A lower A-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; a low & steady Ap-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands. |
K index [ LOW is GOOD ]
0 or 1 is BEST 2 is OK 3 or more is BAD 5 is VERY VERY BAD A higher K-index generally means worse HF conditions. The overall geomagnetic condition of the ionosphere (?Kp? if averaged over the planet) over the past 3 hours, measured by 13 magnetometers between 46 & 63 degrees of latitude, and ranging quasi-logarithmic from 0-9. Designed to detect solar particle radiation by its magnetic effect. A lower K-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands;a low & steady Kp-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands. |
