SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. Region 7376 (N15W47), a
small (30 millionths) CRO group, produced today's only flare:
a C2.3/1B at 0651Z. The event was accompanied by weak Type II
and Type IV sweeps. The largest group on the disk, 7381
(N05W10), continued to show steady growth today but was stable.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low.
The geomagnetic ranged from quiet to storm levels. Conditions
bounced from quiet to active from the beginning of the period
through 1200Z. Since 1200Z mid-latitudes have been at active
to minor storm levels and high-latitudes fluctuated from minor
to severe storm levels. The most likely source for this distur-
bance is a filament that erupted from disk center on 22
December.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be generally unsettled. The current disturbance is
expected to subside some time in the next 12 hours.

HF propagation conditions deteriorated over the last 24 hours to
slightly below normal. Minor signal degradation has occurred over the
high and polar latitude paths in the form of enhanced fading and
multipath activity due to increased levels of geomagnetic and auroral
activity. Conditions are expected to continue below normal over the
next 24 hours and should affect the middle to polar latitude paths
(with greatest emphasis on the high and polar latitude paths). Some
improvements are expected on 30 December.
