COMMENT: There is likely to be mild depressions in the South 
Australian and Antarctic regions due to geomagnetic activity, 
as well as mild depressions in the North Australian and Equitorial 
regions due to low ionisation levels in the ionosphere. Noted 
a extended duration of sporadic E at Vanimo between 15-20 UT, 
as well as isolated cases of sporadic E at other stations in 
the Australian regions.
