2. FORECAST (15 APRIL - 17 APRIL)
Date   T index  Conditions       MUFs                              
15 Apr   100    Normal           Near predicted monthly values

17 Apr   100    Normal           Near predicted monthly values   

COMMENT: HF propagation conditions are good with MUFs at or exceeding 
predicted monthly values, with some variability overnight in 
Northern Australia. The ionising solar EUV flux is elevated with 
numerous visible sunspot regions which should maintain the current 
levels of ionospheric support for HF over the forecast period.
