COMMENT: HF conditions in  most parts  of Austalian/NZ 
regions  were mostly near  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 no  significant 
variations are  expected in the ionospheric conditions
during this period.
