COMMENT: Mild to strong sporadic E-layers, that were observed 
across many stations in Aus/NZ regions, caused communication 
difficulties using F-regions today mainly during the local day 
hours. HF conditions are expected to remain mostly normal across 
Aus/NZ regions for the next three days with the possibility of 
minor to mild depressions at times on 26 January.
