I am looking for a GOOD site to indicate the extent of solar activity expected during the day/days that might reasonably affect GPS. Any recommendations?

thanx,
geezer

I use this one. It tells you the expected conditions but you still have to sort out if the conditions will impact you.

I just got a call from the field, we are getting hit with intermittent radio interference right now. I suspect it will last until tomorrow.

when the graph turns red, take heed

at the Space Weather site, get on the emal alert list, like my yesrterday's post:

Space Weather News for August 3, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

CME IMPACT: As expected, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on August 3rd. The impact, which occurred around 1730 UT, sparked a polar geomagnetic storm. At the time that this alert is being written, sky watchers in Europe as far south as Germany are reporting red and green Northern Lights. If the storm sustains itself for a few more hours, people in North America might see a similar display. Sky watchers in Alaska, Canada, and northern-tier US states such as Wisconsin, Minnesota and Maine should be alert for auroras.
