Abstract

The 10.7 cm solar radio flux, or F 10.7 is, along with sunspot number, one of the most widely used indices of solar activity. This paper describes the equipment and procedures used to make the measurements and to calibrate them, and discusses some of the “most‐asked” questions about the data.
