I've heard that also, but some of the very best days I've seen have 
had an A or K index that was high, some of the worse days when 
they are low.

I've given up totally on watching the A and K indices to estimate 
how the band is. What I find is generally when ten through twenty 
meters is good, 160 is poor.
