COMMENT: MUFs were moderately depressed across the region 02-Mar, 
as a result of elevated geomagnetic activity 01-Mar, with ongoing 
degraded HF conditions at S.Aus/Antarctic locations. MUFs were 
again depressed after local dawn 03-Mar at S.Aus latitudes. Expect 
mildly depressed conditions 03-Mar, with a gradual strengthening 
of the ionosphere over the next three days.
