Default Solar Flux Values: Interpreting Of ?

Hi,

Have read up a bit on propagation, and the Solar Flux values.

But what i haven't been able to get a good feeling for are the numerical
magnitudes, and the
meaning of:

e.g., what value of solar flux value would be considered "good," ? Higher
better ?
A & K values ? Lower better ?
Why ?

How often during the day, typically, are there "meaningful" changes, or is
it a weekly thing ?

etc. ?

A brief explanation of all of this would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
B.
