COMMENT: HF conditions were mostly normal today with minor to 
moderate MUF enhancements. Nearly similar conditions may be 
expected for 12 April and most parts of 13 April. Minor to 
significant MUF depressions and degradations in HF conditions 
are expected from late on 13 April and throughout the day on 
14 April, especially in mid and Southern Aus/NZ regions, due 
to expected enhancements in geomagnetic activity levels during 
this period. Chance of sudden ionospheric disturbances (SWFs) 
on circuits with daylight sectors.
