COMMENT: The current increase in geomagnetic activity did not 
have any significant effect on MUFs around Australian region. 
The geo-magnetic activity is expected to decrease to unsettled 
level by the second half of 25 March, and therefore, the MUFs 
are expected to remain normal on 25, 26 and 27 March around Australian 
region.
