COMMENT: Solar activity is a High levels with the greatest flare 
over the last 24 hours being an M7 from region 2205(N15E66) peaking 
at 0947UT. This region also produced an M3 class flare peaking 
at 1944UT and several C class flares. No CMEs with geoeffective 
potential were observed. The solar wind speed steadily increased 
over the day and is now around 550 km/s. The IMF Bt dropeed from 
a peak of 12nT to just over 5nT. Several southward excursions 
below -5nT occurred in Bz. Solar activity is expected to be moderate 
to high for the next 3 days as region 2205 retains the potential 
for M or X class flares. The solar wind speed is expected to 
remain elevated for the next 3 days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Nov : 
      Darwin              88   (Minor storm)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)

      Gingin              81   (Minor storm)
      Canberra            69   (Active)

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. Daily pc3-indices are the daily sum 
of 20 minute pc3-indices for that station and have been shown to be
well correlated with rejection of high resolution aeromagnetic
survey flight-line data. 

NOTE: Indices may have been generated from data obtained in 
cooperation with the following organisations: Geoscience Australia, 
University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.

COMMENT: Magnetic conditions are unsettled due to elevated solar 
wind speed and magnetic field strength. These conditions are 
expected to continue for the next 3 days, with some chance of 
isolated active periods.

Observed Australian Regional MUFs
   Cocos Island Region:
      Near predicted monthly values.
   Niue Island Region:
      No data available
   Northern Australian Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day.
      Enhanced by 15% during local night.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Near predicted monthly values during local day.
      Enhanced by 20% during local night.
   Antarctic Region (Casey/Scott Base/Davis/Mawson):
      Near predicted monthly values over the UT day.

Monthly T index:

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
06 Nov   120    Near to 15% above predicted monthly values
07 Nov   120    Near to 15% above predicted monthly values
08 Nov   120    Near to 15% above predicted monthly values

COMMENT: IPS SWF HF Communications Warning 55 was issued on 5 
November and is current for 6-8 Nov. Maximum useable frequencies 
were near predicted monthly values with enhancements observed 
during local night in most regions. Good conditions for HF radio 
propagation are expected for the next 3 days. A HF radion communications 
warning has been issued for the next 3 days due to the probability 
of HF fadeouts from expected high levels of xray flare activity.
