Monday, my Mom was rushed into emergency surgery due to complications to a surgery she had a few weeks back. On Wednesday my Dad had a major stroke and now is in Hackley Hosp. He is in the re-hab unit and has a long road ahead of him. Mom got to go home this evening. My daughter was taken to the Emergency Room tonight with a 102º fever. She is now home and doing better. Reaction to new medications.

What an awful week, Just received word that my dad has had a stroke. Mom is still in hospital. Her surgery this morning went well. More to follow later.

Mom's surgery is done. All went well. She is in recovery.

I feel like a new man this morning. My voice is back, I can drink a glass of Coke without my throat being on fire. The true test is the dozen stuffed jalapeño peppers my friend Mark Biggs dropped off to me. Mmmmm. Breakfast. Shelby is still sick, another missed day of school for her. Cameron is still healthy and Melissa is also doing much better.

My Mom is being rushed into emergency surgery at Hackley Hosp. I am not for sure what is going on. Melissa is on her way there now. I'm home sick with a vicious cold. Please pray for my Mom.

HOW TO READ PROPAGATION NUMBERS
The A index [ LOW is GOOD ]
- 1 to 6 is BEST
- 7 to 9 is OK
- 11 or more is BAD
Represents the overall geomagnetic condition of the ionosphere ("Ap" if averaged from the Kp-Index) (an average of the eight 3-hour K-Indices) ('A' referring to amplitude) over a given 24 hour period, ranging (linearly) typically from 1-100 but theoretically up to 400.
A lower A-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; a low & steady Ap-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.
SFI index [ HIGH is GOOD ]
- 70 NOT GOOD
- 80 GOOD
- 90 BETTER
- 100+ BEST
The measure of total radio emissions from the sun at 10.7cm (2800 MHz), on a scale of 60 (no sunspots) to 300, generally corresponding to the sunspot level, but being too low in energy to cause ionization, not related to the ionization level of the Ionosphere.
Higher Solar Flux generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; Solar Flux rarely affects the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.
K index [ LOW is GOOD ]
- 0 or 1 is BEST
- 2 is OK
- 3 or more is BAD
- 5 is VERY VERY BAD
The overall geomagnetic condition of the ionosphere ("Kp" if averaged over the planet) over the past 3 hours, measured by 13 magnetometers between 46 & 63 degrees of latitude, and ranging quasi-logarithmically from 0-9. Designed to detect solar particle radiation by its magnetic effect. A higher K-index generally means worse HF conditions.
A lower K-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; a low & steady Kp-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.
