COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) were near predicted 
monthly values to moderately enhanced ones for the Australian 
and equatorial region on 08 March. Mild to moderate depressions 
were also seen in the equatorial region. Sporadic-E occurrences 
were observed over some sites. Similar levels of ionospheric 
support are expected for the next three UT days, 09-11 March. 
Mildly to moderately encreased MUFs are possible for 11 March 
due to expected increase in geomagnetic activity.
