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. Some 
enhancements were also noticed at times on some locations. 
Nearly similar HF conditions may be expected for the next 
three days as 'not much variation' is expected in the 
ionospheric conditins during this period.
