COMMENT: SWS HF Communications Warning 68 was issued on 18 December
and is current for 19-21 Dec. Minor to moderate MUF depressions
were observed in Aus/NZ regions today. Depressed conditions are
likely to continue in coming days as geomagnetic activity is
expected to rise from today and the level of ionising radiation
is not expected to increase. Lowering the operating frequency
may result in propagation via sporadic E layers when present.
