In the UK a lot of Emergency Communications/RAYNET activity has traditionally taken place in the VHF and UHF Bands. However, experience has shown that HF radio has a role to play in circumstances where usage of VHF/UHF would not be feasible or our expertise in that area was requested. A fresh look at HF is intended to enhance our Emergency Communications abilities; don't think that there is any intention to replace existing VHF/UHF working - on the contrary - it is to complement it or 'add an extra weapon to our armoury', if you like. In the meantime, HF has not stood still (particularly on the commercial side - we have still to catch up!). New modes, smaller (even hand-portable) equipment and continuing licence changes have greatly raised the profile of HF communications, making it much more adaptable for field and mobile work. So why shouldn't we take advantage of this ? | ||
