I check this site all the time, and I've never noticed a level of Kp=6. Call me crazy, but has anyone seen this before? (Kp explanation link below...)

Yes, during the late 1960's and early 1970's the sun was very active and I could see aurorae from the Great Lakes, which would correspond to a Kp of 7. We are transitioning from a solar minimum to a solar maximum, so the Kp number is bound to rise.
That's rather interesting.. Did you notice this at all throughout the following 3 solar maximums?
