Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Sure is - All HF bands are "opening up" and are only going to be getting better
The sunspot cycle is heading out of the dip and on the improve - so all things HF are going to be very exciting in the next few years ....
I was talking to stations in the canary islands and scotland with only 5w....
Will be interesting times in the coming months .....

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
All Aviation is USB
Typically - most Ham below 10MHz is LSB and abover 10MHz is USB
In SE QLD - you will find aviation activity on
6610, 8831, 8867, 13261 (all USB)

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Since Xmas - i have finally got around to getting my ATU hooked up to the 706MkIIG and after sitting on the shelf for months and months unopened - it is working like a gem ....bodyguard wrote:any one have a ATU kicking about they dont use ?
They are great when setup well (nice ground makes a huge difference)

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
I might look for a complete 27mhz mobile setup minus radio
I reckon it would work ok on the Kenwood for rxing, I am itching to fire up the HF again

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Thanks for the great info, Geoffro.
I've keyed some of those freq's into my trusty old FRG-8800.
Am listening to 10056KHz....sounds like Indonesians having a chinwag.

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Hey this is great news, especially about the sunspot activity.
I am hoping to get a budget level (less than $200) SW radio soon. (Must have SSB)
Anyone got any recommendations?

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Not sure about a cheaper radio, but for the antenna system, I just use a 27mhz vertical Stationmaster antenna (no tuner) and I get pretty good results for HF receive. Have a listen www.moretondiver.com/radiorecordings.html

Re: HF aero radio starting to pick up!
Theres not really any "best time" to listen as aircraft fly day and night. Although in saying this, the best time to listen I guess is when radio propagation is at it's peak as it helps SSB signal travel further.
