SWLD - RAAF HFCS

The ADF High Frequency Communications System (HFCS) is a HF radio network providing communications services for the operational control of ADF and RNZAF aircraft and HF equipped marine craft. In addition, visiting military aircraft may use the HFCS when contact with Australia / New Zealand based military authorities is required. The HFCS is not part of, and does not provide, an air traffic control service, military or civil.
As this is a shared NAVY, AIR, ARMY network you will hear stations other than RAAF. Primary is VCN 3.

The HFCS is controlled by Defence Communications Station Australia (DCSA) located in Canberra.

Mode Of Operation
DCSA is capable of operating Independent Side Band (ISB) or AM modes, however, the normal mode of operation is Upper Side Band (USB).
