Re: [IRCA] Unfavourable A/K Indices

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Walt,

It will be interesting to see what the A/K indices do in the next 24-48 
hours, since mention was recently made that good conditions can precede the 
low A & K numbers.

Best of luck to you and Chuck while DXing in Winter Harbour. Chuck has one 
package for you from Computergate which I turned over to him last week.

There's a possibility I may be at Grayland Saturday or Sunday morning for 
dawn enhancement to check out a new small laptop (netbook) with the SDR, so 
we might have a bit of parallel results to compare.

73,
