STORADIO - Communication in aviation
STORADIO has provided a long range HF radio communication service to aviators since the 1960’s. Using remote-controlled, high-powered transmitters & receivers with various directional antennas, STORADIO is available 24 hours day and 365 days a year.
Coverage
Where it works
This chart displays STORADIO’s approximate service area that can be expected under fairly normal conditions (see the highlighted eclipsed areas on the map). Of course, it is possible to establish contact outside this area, but this is very much dependent on: the changing conditions in the ionosphere, the current radio conditions and the pilot’s experience with using HF-radio. We can therefore not guarantee that communications will always be viable with 100% readability and we will not accept any liability for any inconvenience or cost caused thereby.

o During night time the frequencies 3494 / 5541 / 8930 mainly cover areas 1, 2 and 3.
o During day time the pilot must use the higher frequencies: 8930 / 11345 / 13342 / 17916 / 23210 in order to cover the same distance.
o During day time the pilot must use the higher frequencies: 8930 / 11345 / 13342 / 17916 / 23210 in order to cover the same distance.
Propagation
What frequency should I use?
Using the most appropriate HF radio frequency is crucial when establishing contact with STORADIO. The HF Propagation Forecast will help you choose the most approriate HF frequency given: the time of day/night, the atmospeheric conditions and geographic location, by showing the most suitable HF frequency for communication with us. Choose the chart diagram that is closest to your geographical location. General rules: -The higher the sun, the higher the frequency. -The lower the sun, the lower the frequency. -The longer the distance, the higher the frequency -The shorter the distance the lower the frequency.
