I had seen when those factors a long with a full moon or new moon that
pulls the magnetic field more, What else helps use here in Wisconsin is the
Solar Wind when it comes out of the South.
All the other factors have to aline and if the sun just does not cooperate
we are just SOL.

Hi Bill,
We probably know just enough to be dangerous. I often refer to "the

hi reflectees !
As we all know, the effects of the solar wind are strongly determining
160m propagation. It seems that solely watching A and K indexes plus the
SFI is not helping much in propagation predictions, at least not for
160. We all tried that and failed in it. Now is the critical facto
