COMMENT: Generally enhanced HF propagation conditions observed 
throughout the region. Mild overnight spread-F conditions observed 
S Aus/NZ regions, and spread-F observed generally in Antarctic 
region. Equatorial/N Aus regions should experience continuing 
good HF conditions. Anticipated mildly elevated geomagnetic activity 
levels may result in slightly degraded HF conditions over the 
next few days mainly southern regions.
