HF Band
The HF Band, or High Frequency Band, refers to a range of radio frequencies from 3 to 30 megahertz (MHz). This band is commonly used for long-distance communication, as it can reflect off the Earth's ionosphere, allowing signals to travel beyond the horizon. It is popular among amateur radio operators and for maritime and aviation communications.
HF Band signals can be affected by various factors, including solar activity and time of day. During the day, higher frequencies tend to work better, while lower frequencies are more effective at night. This variability makes HF communication both interesting and challenging for users.
