COMMENT: Occasional enhanced MUF's for Equatorial and Northern 
AUS regions over the last 24 hours. Near predicted monthly values 
for Southern AUS/NZ regions with occasional depressions. Poor 
ionospheric support for Antarctic regions due to elevated geomagnetic 
activity. MUFs expected to be near predicted monthly values with 
occasional depressed periods for Southern AUS/NZ regions for 
21Sep-22Sep along with disturbed ionospheric support for Antarctic 
regions. Return to normal HF conditions for the Australian region 
for 23Sep.
