COMMENT: Periods of minor to mild MUF depressions were observed 
on mid latitudes today. Minor to moderate MUF depressions may 
be observed on 25 and 26 August in the Australian/NZ regions 
due to expected enhancements in geomagnetic activity levels through 
this period. HF conditions are expected to improve by 27 August 
with the possibilities of mostly normal conditions in Northern 
Australian/NZ regions and minor MUF depressions in Central and 
Southern Australian/NZ regions on this day.
