My email to you bounces, so I'll post this.
I just stumbled across "Simple Magnetometers or How to Measure Your 
Own K-Index" by Russell G. Wicker, W4WD in the Proceedings of the 
22nd conference of the Central States VHF Society (1988). If you 
want a copy and can't find the proceedings let me know.
