 From the ARRL:

Noel Petit, WB0VGI, sent a link to a magnetometer in Minnesota which
is on a rural farm north of Minneapolis.  The approximate location
is northwest of Cambridge, Minnesota at 45.616 degrees N, 93.312
degrees W.  You can observe the output in terms of K index from a
server at Augsburg College at
http://space.augsburg.edu/ucla/Pictures/kIndex.png.  This is similar
to a K index from NOAA generated by 9 magnetometers in North America
at http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html.
The Cambridge K index gives a nice localized indication of real time
geomagnetic activity at that latitude in the upper Midwest.
