COMMENT: ASWFC SWF HF Communications Warning 135 was issued on 
17 November and is current for 18-20 Nov. Maximum usable frequencies 
(MUFs) on UT day 18-Nov in the Australian region were near predicted 
monthly values. Southern Australian region sites were mildly 
depressed by 15% at times. Spread F was observed at Hobart during 
local night hours. Sporadic E was observed at southern region 
sites during local night hours. A brief minor fadeout was observed 
18/0520-0524UT. MUFs are generally expected to be near predicted 
monthly values to 15% enhanced over 19-21 Nov, with MUFs in the 
southern Australian region depressed by up to 15% at times on 
19-Nov. Minor shortwave fadeouts are likely.
