COMMENT: IPS SWF HF Communications Warning 26 was issued on 12 
October and is current for 12-14 Oct. HF conditions are currently 
enhanced due to high levels of ionising EUV flux from multiple 
sunspot regions. Expected geomagnetic activity over the next 
few days may reduce the maximum useable frequency from the currently 
enhanced levels, however at this stage conditions are not expected 
to drop significantly below the forecast monthly values.
