Are you getting the Most from your HF Radio?

HFoZ is Australia's newest HF Radio Network. After constant requests from all over Australia, finally we have bowed to pressure to launch this new and exciting HF Network. As you'll see from below, HFoZ will serve to provide many additional new services, most of which have been made available for the first time in Australia.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Please note that HFoZ uses DEDICATED frequencies and Network infrastructure for the all the benefits listed below - HFoZ Network and frequencies are NOT shared for any other calling type purpose - e.g., Radtel radiotelephone calls are kept exclusively to Radtel Network, HFoZ calling is on HFoZ network, all COMPLETELY SEPARATE

Before we get into nitty gritties, HFoZ will allow you to get much more usage from your HF Radio and assist in bringing together many other HF Radio users with similar interests to share all knowledge.

With the continual increase in the interest of HF Radio and the substantial growing number of sales throughout Australia, there's no doubt, a need for this type of network was warranted.

Radtel Network is a completely separate network and will still provide exclusive operation for radiotelephone calls and Emergency Assistance.

Overview

HFoZ, has 5 carefully selected channels, ranging from 3 to 15Mhz. These frequencies have been (for the first time) approved for Voice and limited Data usage, which will allow the radio user to further expand the usage of their radio.

Vehicle to Vehicle
Voice Comms - Vehicle to Vehicle  
HFoZ, gives you access to voice communications between vehicles without the interruptions from scheduled reports and or fixed times for reporting and logging.
SMS - Paging Message Service - Vehicle to Vehicle  
Most modern day radios are equipped with SMS or sometimes known as Paging. This feature allows the user the facility to send and receive short messages usually up to a maximum of around 64 characters between radios. It is particularly handy in times when signal strength may not be as good as required for normal voice communications.
GPS Position Reporting - Vehicle to Vehicle  
GPS Position Reporting (providing the HF Radio has a GPS interfaced) will allow the user to send and receive GPS positions to and from other vehicles fitted with GPS. - Special HFoZ Deal - Click HERE
SAFETY LOGGING

 

HFoZ has just completed one of the most exciting developments in HF Radio history - Both GPS Position Reporting (Vehicle Tracking) and SMS or Paging data base logging, is now available for the first time in Australia! - We are proud to announce this excitng new development is now operational. Please read below for more details.

 

GPS Position Reporting - Vehicle to Base  
GPS Position Logging allows the radio user to send their co-ordinates to any of the designated HFoZ Base sites for safety logging purposes. It will then automatically sotre this data for any possible safety and emergency purposes recall. This completely eliminates the need for Voice logging and also gives your family, friends and business associates access to view these stored records on our secure database, via 'user name' and 'password'. Not only does it eliminate the need to speak with a base operator it also is far more reliable than Voice Comms particularly in times of weak signal strength and poor propagation. - Special HFoZ Deal - Click HERE

 

 

 

 

 

SMS - Paging Message Service - Vehicle to Base  
SMS or Paging allows the user to send text messages (i.e., safety logging messages or just general messages) up to a maximum of 64 characters for Codan radios or 32 characters for Barrett radios, to any of the designated HFoZ Base Sites. The information will then be stored in our secure database for any possible emergency purposes recall. Once again this feature as in GPS above completely eliminates the need for Voice logging and also gives your family, friends and business associates access to view these stored records via, 'user name' and 'password'. Just reiterating it also completely eliminates the need to speak with base site operators and is more reliable than Voice Comms in times of weak signal strength.

GENERAL FEATURES
A.L.E. or C.A.L.M.  

ALE stands for Automatic Link Establishment or for Codan it's sometime referred to as CALM which stands for Codan Automatic Link Management. This is a relatively new feature not yet been used on any Australian network. Another first, HFoZ's infrastructure will eventually be setup to include this very handy feature.

To explain the operation of ALE in somewhat simple terms, the feature, when operative continually sends out at preprogrammed intervals, what is known as 'soundings', these 'soundings' check the signal strength for the chosen frequencies, time of day and distance of transmission to the selected base or mobile radio at various times throughout the operating cycle of the radio. It then stores the information in a memory for when you wish to call one of these mobiles or base stations. So when a call is made the radio does all the thinking for you.

The feature truly allows 'One Touch' dialing from your radio and takes all the 'guess' work out of it. Just let the radio do 'all' those tedious tasks automatically - selection of channels, beacon calling, selcalling etc.
Users Weekend  

Periodically throughout the year, there'll be weekends set aside for subscribers to HFoZ to get together over a weekend and not only meet the 'Voice behind the Microphone' but also learn from each other all the pros and cons about HF. Training sessions, technical seminars and basically the opportunity to just relax and enjoy, will be all on the agenda.
