Approximately a dozen late type dwarf stars have been observed by Wilson (1978) to undergo cyclic variability in Ca II H and K line emission which seems analogous to the solar activity cycle. What might be learned about these stars from solar analogies? The Ca II K index is estimated variation of the Sun viewed as a star, and compared with the observed range of Wilson's stellar observations. Results indicate trends of increasing relative variation H-K(max)/H-K(min) with later spectral type, due to decreasing dilutional contribution of residual photospheric flux to a 1 A band at line center, and of increasing relative variation with decreasing relative time of rise to maximum tau rise/tau reminiscent of the observed solar correlation of a quick rise to sunspot maximum with a strong cycle.
