COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 70 was issued on 19 October
and is current for interval 20-22 October (SWFs) . Lower than
normal MUFs are likely for southern Aus/NZ region next few days,
in association with coronal hole wind stream induced activity.
There is an increasing chance for short wave fadeouts due to
magnetically complex solar region in north-east solar quadrant.
Northern Aus region MUfs expected to be near normal and communicators
within this region should use a T of 60.
