  • Page 85: Appendix D-Hf Radio Transmission

    30 MHz. HF transceivers usually cover a frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz. Codan HF transceivers transmit on single sidebands. This reduces the power required to send HF signals, and increases the number of channels available within the HF spectrum.

  • Page 86: Figure 7: The Reflective Properties Of The Ionosphere

    HF radio transmission Sky wave The sky wave is the most important form of HF propagation. The HF radio wave is transmitted toward the sky and is reflected by the ionosphere to a distant receiver on earth. The reflective properties of the ionosphere change throughout the day, from season to season, and yearly.

  • Page 87: Frequency, Distance And Time Of Day

    HF radio transmission Frequency, distance and time of day The extent to which an HF radio wave is reflected depends on the frequency that is used. If the frequency is too low, the signal is absorbed by the ionosphere. If the frequency is too high, the signal passes straight through the ionosphere.

  • Page 88: Channels And Modes

    HF radio transmission Channels and modes A channel is a name that is given to a frequency or a pair of frequencies, for example, ‘Channel 1’, ‘4500’ and ‘Headquarters’. The frequencies may be any frequencies within the HF range. Each channel has one or more modes associated with it. Each mode indicates a sideband that can be used with the channel, such as USB or LSB.

  • Page 89: Networks And Scanning

    The call system is the method the network uses to make and receive calls. For example, in networks that use the Codan Selcall or Open Selcall call system to make calls, the user enters the address of the station they want to call, then selects the channel/mode on which to make the call.

  • Page 90: Etiquette For The Use Of Hf Radio

    HF radio transmission Etiquette for the use of HF radio There is a standard procedure for communicating over HF radio. Before you begin transmitting, switch off scanning, select a channel, then press PTT on the handset to initiate tuning of the antenna. Listen to the channel that you are going to use and ensure that there is no voice or data communication taking place.
