COMMENT: Mostly normal HF conditions were observed over the last 
24 hours in the Aus/NZ region. Periods of presence of sporadic 
E layers were also observed. HF conditions are expected to be 
mostly normal on 6 January. Minor degradations in HF conditions 
and MUF depressions may be observed on 7 January and early on 
8 January due to an expected rise in geomagnetic activity levels 
during this period. Mostly normal HF conditions may be expected 
from the second half of 8 January. Short wave fadeouts may be 
possible from 6 to 8 January due to the potential of flaring 
activity on the sun.
