COMMENT: HF conditions in most parts of Austalian/NZ 
regions were mostly normal with periods of MUF depressions 
and degradations in HF conditions possibly due to a weaker 
ionosphere due to continued very low solar activity. Nearly 
similar HF conditions may be expected for the next three days 
as 'not much variation' is expected in the ionospheric 
conditions during this period.
