Hello:

What's a "good" value for the SF Solar Flux values reported for general
SWL (30 MHz and below) ?

Is it freq. dependent ? How ?

Thanks,
B.

It would take hours to really answer your question fully, but I think I can
help:

For most hams, when the flux gets above 100, things are picking up. Above
125, you'll hear comments about how great the bands are. Above 150, you can
do DXCC in a week running QRP. Above 175, you'll ask the wife to call in
sick for you so you can chase DX. Above 200, you won't have to call in sick
anymore because you quit your job.

How's that? :-)
