COMMENT: The HF propagation conditions were mostly normal during 
the UT day 30April at mid-latitudes. Strong enhancements at near-equatorial 
northern sites were observed, especially 08-09UT, from an enhanced 
equatorial anomaly, possibly caused by remnant activity after 
the geomagnetic disturbances of the previous days. Expect mostly 
normal HF frequency availability for next three days in the absence 
of significant geomagnetic or solar flare activity. There is 
a moderate chance of isolated M/X flares from at least 4 of the 
7 solar active regions, which if they occur during local daytime 
will cause short wave fadeouts of varying degrees.
