COMMENT: Enhanced HF conditions observed for Southern AUS/NZ 
and Northern AUS regions during local day. Depressed MUF's observed 
for Southern AUS/NZ regions during local night and disturbed 
ionospheric conditions for Antarctic regions due to geomagnetic 
storm activity. MUF's are expected to range from near monthly 
predicted values to enhanced by ~15% for Northern AUS regions 
over the next 24 hours. Depressed MUF's to near monthly predicted 
values expected for Southern AUS/NZ regions for the next 24 hours 
and continued disturbed conditions for Antarctic regions. Normal 
to enhanced ionospheric support expected for 21Feb-22Feb for 
Southern AUS/NZ and Northern AUS/Equatorial regions. Further 
short-wave fadeouts are possible.
