Using the most appropriate HF radio frequency is crucial when establishing contact with STORADIO. The HF Propagation Forecast will help you choose the most appropriate HF frequency given: the time of day/night, the atmospheric 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.

The Daily Area Predictions (DAP) of communcation frequencies for the present day are based on SWS average maps of the ionosphere.
The Hourly Area Predictions are based on near real time hourly ionospheric map.

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 above). 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.
1/Blue - Normally very good.
2/Yellow - Normally good.
3/Grey - Occasional.

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.

Guide
How does it work
This guide will help you understand the effects geomagnetic solar conditions and the time of day/year may have on HF communications, so that you can always be sure to get optimal communications when using Stockholmradio HF Radio. You will also be provided with information about services available and how you can register to use them.

What more does STORADIO offer
STORADIO offers HF radio services for airlines such asOperational Phone Patches
Phone Patches can connect to any telephone subscriber in the global telephone network through STORADIO.
Operational Message Relay
We relay various types of messages such as: Position Reports, ARR/DEP messages, Re-dispatch /Acceptance messages, etc.
MET Information
As a value-added service, we provide Flight Crews with MET Info with virtually no retrieval delay. Our system carries Actuals and Forecasts for all major stations within our Service Area and beyond.
SELCAL and Radio Checks
SELCAL (Selective Calling) is a system designed to give Flight Crews a possibility to guard a certain frequency without actually having to listen to the audio and the noises an HF radio received normally makes.
Medical Phone Patches
In order to facilitate the decision making of the Pilot In Command in case of a Medical situation on board, we can connect Phone Patches to any of the facilities that are specialized in providing Medical Advice.
Personal Phone Pathes
In order to facilitate crew members placing personal calls, we have arrangements with the major credit cards for easy payment.
