OK.....I'm 'Green', but I thought that the Navy was using UHF more often than HF, or do I have all my "HF's" confused........which wouldn't surprise me as I only use them and sometimes break them......never fix them.

Depends on the ranges involved...we use HF, UHF and SHF all the time these days.

We (CP-140) need VHF-AM, VHF-FM, UHF and HF to do our jobs

I hate HF, 7 hours on a headset on TG ReP HF and you want an ear drum transplant.....

That's why aviation invented something called SELCAL

The Sea King has an HF set straight out of the 50's. No SELCAL....just hours and hours of static. Which is why we make the AES Op monitor it!

VHF in my experience works up to 15-20 nautical miles. I've seen in certain parts of the world the range reduced and increased up to 30-40 nautical miles (Tropospheric Ducting) when we were operating in the Souther Mediterranean regions.
SHF = Super High Frequency, used in satellite comms which yields a good good bandwidth of up to 512KBps

Then you do have a SELCAL, it's just called an AES Op in your airframeSeaKingTacco said:The Sea King has an HF set straight out of the 50's. No SELCAL....just hours and hours of static. Which is why we make the AES Op monitor it!

It depends on the height above ground of the emmiting antenna and the height above ground of the receiving antenna.

Geez maybe thats who we need in the Ops Room, a couple of Aes Ops. Gawd knows the Sea pigs don't fly that much anyways, might as well get the air crew doing something

Let's see? I've talked to Range Control in Dundurn, Saskatchewan from Landry Crossing in Petawawa. I've talked to Range Control on their "Push" in Ft Benning Georgia from the top of the Lawfield Corridor in Gagetown. All on HF. Now that was good "Skip". Now we are talking all kinds of things. Harmonics. Ionosphere. Atmosphere. Curvature of the Earth. Weather conditions...........and the characteristics of Radio Waves and many other things I don't remember from my Math and Physics days.
