COMMENT: IPS Preliminary HF Communications Warning 7 was issued 
on 12 April and is current for 13-14 Apr. HF conditions were 
mostly normal today with minor to moderate MUF enhancements. 
Similar conditions are expected early on 14-Apr, with minor to 
significant MUF depressions and degradations in HF conditions 
later on 14-Apr and into 15-Apr, especially in mid and Southern 
Aus/NZ regions, due to increased geomagnetic activity levels 
expected during this period. Conditions should return to mostly 
normal on 16-Apr.
