The Nordic Radio Society (a foundation co-operating with SNRV, the Swedish National Committee of URSI) invites authors and participants to the 6th Nordic HF conference. Topics focus on communications beyond the horizon, with emphasis on HF radio. The use of HF as information bearer in other types of applications is also of interest. Since the first conference in 1986, each Nordic HF conference has gathered around 150 participants, who enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and stimulating company of colleagues in the informal setting provided by the unique nature of Fårö and the FBU Training Camp.
HF communications technology has advanced significantly over the last few years, with significant trends towards a higher degree of automation and signal processing that now can be cost-effectively implemented to achieve affordable performance even in small systems. Mobile Internet is the hot topic of today, however the radio environment and especially HF does not provide the distortion-free high bandwidth channel of an optical fibre. There is a significant challenge to meet users’ expectations of communications anywhere, anytime. High capacity multi-media networks carry not only analogue voice and data messages in a store-and-forward manner, but also digitised high quality voice, streaming data and even streaming video. Integration of HF with these networks requires developments in modulation and coding, link management and network management to be able to provide a service level acceptable by the network users. Automatic networking aspects and information transparency play an increasing role to achieve full subscriber connectivity, area coverage and highly reliable communications with HF possibly being only one of several available communications alternatives.
