I suggest something like this:
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.

For those wondering if your receivers are functioning OK ...
I suggest you learn about and check the hourly propagation forecasts on
WWV. Learn about the A and K index numbers, too. They'll give you a
pretty
good idea of what to expect.
HF band conditions are directly related to sunspot and solar flare
activity, both of which fluctuate at an eleven year rate.
Compromise antennas don't help, either.
Your browser is your friend ....
