HFIE 2018 - HF Interoperability Exercise
« on: October 04, 2018, 07:32:02 AM »

 HFIE 2018 - HF Interoperability Exercise 12~22 October
 ALE and SELCALL  HFIE, the international ham radio HF Interoperability
 Exercise is sponsored by HFLINK.

 Amateur Radio Service operators in the event activate their
 stations on the air using the same standards as non-governmental (NGO)
 and government organizations worldwide for interoperable HF
 communications. The focus of operation during this exercise is
 ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) and SELCALL (HF Selective Calling).

 Ham operators are invited to participate at any time during the 10 days
 of this free and open informal event. Operators get real-world experience
 and become proficient in HF Interoperability communications using the
 following suggested methods:

 + Initiate and respond to ALE calls
 + Initiate and observe ALE soundings
 + Link up with fellow operators for texting
 + Link up for SSB voice QSOs
 + Share helpful information on setting up ALE
 + Initiate and respond to SELCALL calls
 + Share information on setting up SELCALL
 + Exchange local status and infrastructure reports

 Join the growing thousands of amateur radio operators worldwide
 with ALE-capable and SELCALL-capable stations. Participants may
 discuss, learn, and ask questions using the HFN Comm Centre
 chat room on HFLINK.NET. The experience gained by operator
 participation in the exercise is also useful for HF Emergency/
 Disaster Relief communications (EMCOMM).

 HFIE 2018 SCHEDULE
 Start: 12 October 2018 at 0001 UTC
 End: 22 October 2018 at 2359 UTC
