2. FORECAST (03 NOVEMBER - 09 NOVEMBER)
Solar: Low, with the small chance of moderate levels should
solar regions 922 and 921 develop further.

Geomagnetic: Mostly quiet to unsettled for the next few days
with an increase in activity levels possible should flare/CME
activity eventuate from solar regions 922 and 921.

Frequencies: MUFs mostly near predicted monthly values with
depressions of 10-20% likely at times for equatorial regions only.
