region, although some MUF depressions up to 20% were again observed 
in Equatorial and N.Aus regions during the local day. Antarctic 
regions experienced some disturbed HF conditions due to continuing

regions for the next 3 days. Equatorial and N.Aus regions may 
experience further MUF depressions up to 20% during the local 
day 04 March.
