Aircraft
Aircraft utilize HF communications when VHF (Line of Sight) communications is not sufficient. The primary usage of HF is for Trans-oceanic flights. Trans-oceanic flights communicate with ground stations via HF for position reports and other purposes. Another utilization of HF communications is for HFDL or High Frequency DataLink. Finally Military Aircraft (MILCRAFT) utilize HF for operational and training.
- ICAO HF Aeronautical Stations - Aircraft use the ICAO stations to communicate over water when out of VHF radio range.
- HFDL misnamed HF Datalink, it's really an HF version of ACARS
ALE (Automatic Link Establishment)
- The ALE page has a listing of all the packages that decode ALE.
- The ALE Networks page consolidates a listing of active ALE networks.
Digital Decoding
- Utility Monitoring Central
- Here's Marius Rensen's popular HF FAX site for FAX/SSTV information
