There is not a 1 to 1 relationship between A, K and what you work. Where 
the path traverses is equally important. When the ionosphere and the 
geomagnetic field are disturbed by solar events, generally the first 
paths to be affected are polar and the last are trans-equatorial or 
low-latitude. And lowand ops have long noted that at the beginning of an 
event, some paths are actually temporarily enhanced before degrading 
severely.
