Most of the replies on here have talked about various logging software etc
not where these actually get the information from....

For a quick look at current solar indices I use the excellent DK0WCY
magnetometer page at http://www.dk0wcy.de/magneto/magnet.htm - though this
may not be as useful for those outside Europe.

Nobody has mentioned the HFPropagation site -
http://www.hfradio.org/propagation.html
which has a wealth of information. In recent months there have been server
problems and it is not as good as it used to be (new server being planned
apparently). I used to subscribe to their RSS feed of solar indices but
these have long stalled and only supply the data for last June.... I failed
to find any other RSS source of the data.

Having got the indices it is up to you to learn what to do with them and how
it relates to the dx you hear (or at the moment don't hear) on the bands.
