I am keeping a close watch on the measured K-Index in Leirvogur, Iceland displayed on TF3MA´s web site which seems to correlate well with the good conditions we have been experiencing. 

26 February

conditions are detoriating, I heard a JA station around 1700Z but was unable to raise him.  Later I had contacts with JA7NI

The K-Index as measured at Leirvogur Magnetic Observatory is now rising and only two JA QSOs were made.
