- AERO COMMUNICATIONS:
-
- All commercial carriers navigate established flyways in the sky.
- Although invisible to the eye, these air routes, defined by
- geographical coordinates, are much the same as automobile
- highways. At predetermined positions along these flyways,
- aircraft are required to report in to a ground station. Those
- stations involved primarily with domestic or regional flights are
- designated "Flight Service Stations." The long range route
- stations are called "International Flight Service Stations." each
- of these FSS or IFSS air traffic control (ATC) facilities have
- geographical boundaries assigned to them, creating Major World
- Air Route Areas. Any aircraft flying within or through a MWARA
- must establish a "guard" with that ground facility.
- The bulk of traffic you hear on the HF aero frequencies
- concerns the air route progress of an aircraft, while on a
- particular flyway. Normally, the data passed consists of:
- position, time at position, next estimated position, time of
- arrival at next estimated position, and flight level. During
- "guard" changes, the pre-filed flight plan information is given.
- This includes departure point/time, destination, and estimated
- time of arrival. It is therefore a simple task for an aircraft
- buff to chart the progress of a particular airliner from the
- comfort of an easy chair.
- As established by international agreement, on all
- intercontinental oceanic air routes, the mandatory communicative
- language is English. This does not preclude communications in a
- language common to both the aircraft and the ground station, such
- as French between Air France and Papeete, or Spanish between
- AeroMexico and Bogota.
-
- AIRLINE ID's: Most use their company names, i.e. Air France,
- Quantas, United, etc. Several airline companies have their own
- personalized callsigns:
- CLIPPER - Pan American World Airways
- SABENA - Belgian World Airlines
- SPEEDBIRD - British Airways
- SPRINGBOK - South African Airways
-
- FREQUENCY USAGE: En route aircraft, regardless of their position,
- are rarely ever more than a few thousand miles from the nearest
- ground station. Thus, there exists little reason for the
- establishment of long-distance ground-to-air HF comm circuits.
- This means the selection of frequencies or bands which will
- propagate either directly or within one hop from the ground
- station to the aircraft. As a rule of thumb, most comms will
- occur on the lowest available frequency that can be used at any
- particular hour, local time. For example, New York might easily
- communicate with an aircraft in the mid-Atlantic on a frequency
- of 13306 kHz during midday, EST; as sunset approaches, the same
- path would use 8825 kHz; and when both the aircraft and New York
- are in total darkness, the best frequency would be 5598 kHz or
- even 3016 kHz. Using another example of an aircraft flying over
- the South China Sea, in communication with Hong Kong ground
- station: at 1200 hours Hong Kong time (0400 UTC or 2300 EST),
- comms might use 13300 kHz; by 1900 HKT (1100 UTC or 0600 EST),
- they may move down to 8903 or 6562 kHz; and by 0000 HKT (1600 UTC
- or 1100 EST) they might go down as far as 4666 or 2998 kHz.
- You can see from the above that frequencies are selected for
- best regional coverage, not for long-distance reception. Combine
- this with the low transmitting power used by these stations, and
- you have a real DX'ing challenge. Hearing aero stations from more
- than 8000 miles distant isn't impossible..it just seems that way!
-
-
- SELCAL, MODES, ETC.: You will often hear aircraft call in for
- "Selcal check", followed by a phonetic identifier. The ground
- station punches these phonetic calls into a tone-generating
- device and then transmits two double tones back to the aircraft.
- This is to test the SELective CALling system used by major
- airlines, wherein each aircraft is assigned its own unique tone
- code; a squelch device connected to the craft's radio mutes all
- radio communications until it detects that craft's own SELCAL
- tones; then it turns the receiver audio on and alerts the cockpit
- of an incoming message. Without using SELCAL, the flight crew
- would have to actively monitor HF aero frequencies continuously,
- which would be a great distraction as well as a major chore.
- Most airborne stations, and all ground stations, transmit
- using Single Sideband, or SSB mode (although some antiquated
- aircraft still use AM transmission). Thus, you will need a
- receiver equipped to hear SSB signals, i.e. one with a BFO or an
- SSB switch for product detection. The bulk of aero comms are in
- upper sideband, or USB. Reception of this mode requires a certain
- degree of receiver stability; on older or cheaper sets, you will
- need to re-tune periodically to maintain received
- intelligibility.
- Both ground stations and aircraft have decent records of
- verifying reception reports, usually by letter or reporter-
- prepared postcard. Remember it is illegal to repeat any portion
- of the monitored communication, so your report should simply
- state something like, "I heard your ground station in contact
- with AirFrance 352..," and NOT "You asked the pilot for his next
- position and he replied with his geographical coordinates."
- Incidentally, this is a good way to score QSL's from many
- countries which lack shortwave broadcasting facilities or are
- otherwise rare catches (see the list at the end). Addresses for
- the airlines and the ground stations are too numerous to include
- here, but are available in book form from most major shortwave
- suppliers.
