Notes from PSWS / TangerineSDR call of 03-30-2020
1. Bill has started posting the PSWS / TangerineSDR software to
https://github.com/AB4EJ-1/TangerineSDR-notes

2. Kp is determined by a network of magnetometers. This is useful
in predicting propagation disturbances. During normal conditions:
  At the poles the vertical component should be about 60,000 nT and the
  horizontal component near zero. At the equator the horizontal component
  should be about 30,000 nT and the vertical component near zero.

3. Discussion on magnetometer calibration: how often do they need to be
calibrated, and how would this be accomplished?

4. International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRFG) model profile
parameters provides long term estimates of magnetic field by
lat/long/height and year:
