COMMENT: Periods of minor to mild MUF depressions were observed 
on low latitudes today. Minor to moderate MUF depressions may 
be observed on 26 and at times on 28 August in the Australian/NZ 
regions due to expected enhancements in geomagnetic activity 
levels on these days. HF conditions are expected to remain mostly 
normal on 27 August.
