COMMENT: MUFs are slightly reduced already due to high geomagnetic 
activity overnight due to the elevated solar wind speed from 
a recurrent solar coronal hole. They are likely to reduce further 
over the next day or two depending on geomagnetic activity. Strong 
sporadic E has been observed at most latitudes, particularly 
overnight and early this morning, in some cases blanketing the 
F. The south-eastern region appears particularly affected with 
Trans-Tasman circuits showing strong Es. Indications of spread 
F at low latitudes in PNG and northern Australia.
