  I suggest something like this:

  http://www.hamqsl.com/solar3.html <http://www.hamqsl.com/solar3.html> .
  It tells you A and K values SFI and
  solar wind values. Additionally, there is a plug in for a number of
  browsers from N0HR that shows you SFI, A and K values in a corner of
  your browser.
