Greetings all.  This is Terry in West Palm Beach.

There is a very neat shareware tool available called the DX ToolBox.  Those
of you interested in receiving the below information in a timely manner may
be interested in DX ToolBox.  It can be found at
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/dxtoolbox.html

Here is a brief writeup:
DX ToolBox Version 2.4.0    November 18, 2004 DX Toolbox searches the web
for you, gathering information on solar and  geomagnetic conditions that
affect radio propagation. DX Toolbox also has  several built in propagation
forecasting tools. An active internet connection  is required to use DX
ToolBox. It displays in real-time the following important readings: ?  Solar
Flux ?  A-Index ?  K-Index ?  X-Ray Flux levels ?  X-Ray flares ?  Solar
Wind ?  Earth's Magnetic Field ?  Radio Blackout conditions ?  Geomagnetic
Storm conditions ?  Solar Radiation Storm conditions In addition, the last
month's worth of Solar Flux, A-Index, K-Index, Sun Spot  Number, and
background X-Ray Flux are plotted. Maps showing auroral levels, as well as
the maximum F layer frequency  (related to MUF) over various parts of the
world are also displayed. In  addition, images of the Sun from the SOHO
satellite are also shown. A grayline map of the world is also available,
showing the daylit, dark, and  most importantly the grayline region, where
propagation is often greatly  enhanced. Propagation conditions can be
estimated between two points on the Earth. DX ToolBox is free to try out. If
you decide to continue using it, you then buy  your copy for just $24.99,
which gives you a registration code to remove the  reminder messages. Take a
look at the Purchase part of this document for  details on how to buy your
copy.
