COMMENT: IPS Preliminary HF Communications Warning 3 was issued
on 15 March and is current for 17-19 Mar. HF propagation conditions
are normal to good. Significant geomagnetic activity expected
for the 17th of March is likely to reduce the MUFs for HF communication
from midway through the 17th and into the 18th of March. Due
to the significant enhancements currently being seen compared
with the monthly prediction, the depressions compared with the
predicted values may be only around 15%. More significant depressions
are possible, particularly in southern and polar regions.
