[Dxspider-support] WWV vs WCY

[Dave Hawes]

I have been somewhat baffled by the differences in the data 
presented to the user by the WCY and WWV broadcasts.  The 
following session snippet shows an example of what I mean:

sh/wwv/2

Questions:

1.  Why don't the SFI and A index data agree?  Is it a matter of where 
the data is measured on the planet?  In the states, we are 
accustomed to monitoring the WWV broadcasts from Boulder, CO.
2.  How does one interpret the "Exp. K" data?
3.  What is "R" ?
4.  Where can I go on the internet to obtain answers and more 
explanation.  My users are curious and I can provide the answers.
