The High Frequency (HP) band is the range of frequencies between
3 and 30 MHz. HF radios usually include a frequency runge of 2 to
30 MHz.
Codxn HF rustic: transmit on single sidebuuls. This reduces the
power required to send HF signals and increases the number of
channels available within the HF spectrum.
HF radios are primarily used for long—rung: communication where
distances of 3000 km and more are possible. Obstructions such as
building: and mountains have little effect on long—range
communication. HF radio can cover such large distances because
of the way the transmitted Mo signal prop-gates
HF radio waves are pmpngnled in three ways simultaneously:
- ground wave
' direct wave
' skywave
Ground wave
The ground wave travels near the ground for short distances.
typically upto 100 km overland and 300 km over sea. The
distance covered depends upon the operating frequeney.
transmission power and type of terrain.
Dlreet wave
The direct wave travels in a direct line—oi—eight from the
transmitter to the receiver.
Sky wave
The sky wave is the most important form of HF propagation. The
rudio wuve is transmitted toward the sky and is reflected by the
ionosphere to a distant receiver on earth.

frequencies ere generally considered to be in the runge of 2 to

A frequency chosen for daytime transmission may not necessarily
be suiteble for night—time use. During the day the ionosphere has

When you first establish communication with another Italian it is
customary to sine their call tin and then your own using the
phonetic alphabet (see Table 2—2). For example:
"Alpha Brave One. this i! Alpha Bmvo No. Do you receive me?
Over"
In this example your call sign in A132 and you are calling a station
with call sign AB]. A call lign is a group of letters and numbers
issued by a government authority to identify it station. The
photwt'ie alphabet is uned to ensure that your call iign in pmperly

The wotd ‘ovet' is med to signify the end of your transmission.
The transceiver also mamitt a short beep when you release the
FIT button on the handsett When your converaation with the other
party il finished. the party that speaks last should say ‘out'.
Swearing or foul language should not be used—heavy pcnlliieit
can apply.
