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 factor
whether the polarity of the arriving solar wind, developing the
interplanetary mag field , fits the earth mag field or not. becuase if
it does, the influence is by far greater than without it.
Question is, where do i find that info ?? I think this might stir up
some geophysicist - hopefully. Surely the information derived that way
is not as easy to grasp as a simple number, but it may be the only way
to further the cause.
