I've been watching the Kp index and other charts most days since 1996 and I've never been able to correlate much of it with poor locating conditions. Sure, some big storms cause problems but many times I could find no indicator of why conditions went bad. Remote viewers that worked for the US military say solar wind speed is the factor--anything over 600 kph has adverse effects. But there is still something else, so I am suspicious it is these minor fluxuations in the magnetic frequencies.
The "Body Magnetic" book talks about how some planets modulate solar magnetic storms. Saturn is a big one but even Earth's moon is a factor. It's a bit complicated, you will have to read the book. But once Saturn and the moon are in sync, every nine days there is problems when they are 90 or 120 degrees apart. Surprisingly Jupiter has more of a calming effect.
Don't confuse LRL's with dowsing. And many people confuse dowsing with map dowsing which is a psychic phenomena. Pershinger claims high solar activity improves psychic ability but the remote viewers do not hold this viewpoint. They should know. My Contraption is one of the original LRL's design. It wasn't until later when Dell Winders discovered that the signal could be detected with L-rods. Don't know if you have seen some of the predecessors that plugged the L-rods into the receiver headphone outlet. They were able to null out the signal as a form of weight cancelling. I figured this out on my own. Recall when the antenna is turned 90 degrees it nulls out the signal like how the Gold Gun responds to a target. So yeah, you can use L-rods or the electronic receiver but the L-rods give more info about the target. But the ferrite has to be pointed at the target to get teh nulling. That's why I always wondered why the ToTeM did that--it cancels out any response. Watch my video how it nulls the signal.
