Topband: Recent Conditions and Propagation From Texas

[Phil Clements]

During the last several nights, The A and K indexes have been near zero.
Sunspot numbers have been at or near zero, and more often than not, the
polar aurora has been very low.

Conditions and propagation from E. TX have been average, at best. Only the
"usual players" with average signals are coming through from Europe. The guy
in Iceland never seems to work any NA stations. The rare countries in Asia,
the South Pacific, etc. are not hearable at this QTH.

What ingredients are missing here? You would think that the conditions would
be fantastic, with at least huge signals coming from EU. Where on the web
can you go to see if 160 meters is going to worth trying on any given
evening? Apparently, the A, K, Aurora, and sunspots don't guarantee
anything!
