COMMENT: Depressed conditions observed during local day for Northern 
Australia regions and during local night for Equatorial regions. 
Southern Australia/NZ and Antarctic regions had mostly normal 
ionospheric support support over the last 24 hours. With an increase 
in geomagnetic activity in the last 24 hours, depressed MUFs 
of ~20% are expected for all regions with possible disturbed 
conditions for Antarctic regions over the next 3 days.
