SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. Region 7376 (N15W77) pro-
duced all of today's flare activity. The largest event was a
C5.2/SF at 0939Z. Two smaller flares were accompanied by weak
Type II sweeps: a C1/SF at 0248Z and a C2/SF at 0825Z. This
group continues to show growth and bright plage but seems to
have a fairly simple magnetic structure. Region 7381 (N04W39)
continued to decay and was stable. Surge activity was reported
on east limb at about S12.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low. Solar background and activity levels are expected to
decline with the departure of Region 7376 from west limb on
1 January.
CAMPAIGN NOTICE:
Word from Antarctica is that HIREGS is prepared and ready
to launch as soon as 0600UT on 31 Dec. The only impediment to
launch now is surface winds. This campaign begins following
successful launch and ascent of HIREGS. Observatories who wish
to begin taking background data may do so. Adequate target
regions are sparse. Region 7376 (N15W78 at 31/0000UT) is
producing occasional C-class flares and should be considered as
the primary target region at this time. The limb near SE10
continues to exhibit optical surging but no spots are visible
yet. This area is the secondary target. A campaign action
notice will be issued when the actual launch time is known.
The geomagnetic field was mostly quiet to unsettled. Some
brief active periods were observed at high latitudes.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be generally unsettled for the next three days.

HF propagation conditions improved over all regions today.
High latitude paths transiting the auroral zones continued to
experience minor signal degradation, but have improved steadily
over the last 24 hours. Conditions should become near-normal
over all regions during the next 24 to 72 hours.
