COMMENT: Minor to significant MUF depressions were observed 
across Aus/NZ region today due to enhanced geomagnetic activity 
levels. Against expectations, some periods of MUF enhancements 
were also observed. Minor to mild degradations in HF conditions 
and MUF depressions may expected in this region for the next 
two days as the geomagnetic activity is expected to stay relatively 
higher for two more days. Mostly normal HF conditions may be 
expected for the third day as the geomagnetic activity is 
expected to show significant decline by then.
