COMMENT: Mild to Moderate MUF depressions were observed in Northern 
Australian and equatorial regions during the UT day, 22 August. 
MUFs were near predicted monthly values for Southern Australian/NZ 
and Antarctic regions. Nearly similar HF conditions are likely 
to continue on 23 August. Further depressions in MUFs and degradations 
in HF conditions may be observed on 24 and 25 August due to expected 
rise in geomagnetic activity levels on these days.
