COMMENT: HF propagation conditions were significantly enhanced 
at many Australian stations during the day time hours of 23 March. 
They returned to very close to normal (T=69) or slightly below 
normal during the evening hours. Day time enhancements are possible 
again today. However, the propagation conditions are basically 
near normal and they are expected to remain near normal for most 
circuits during the next 48 hours. The Penticton 10.7 cm solar 
flux has decreased to below 100.
