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 Wolf,
I'm not sure if I understand your question. If you are looking for
real time solar wind monitoring, you might start here:

I have assembled a collection of solar, solar wind, and geomagnetic
real time data, originally to forecast and track VHF and UHF

There are many other factors affecting 160, and probably many

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

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
