HFpack
Calling Frequencies |
SSB, CW, ALE, or SELCALL may be used for calling or
QSOs
on the HFpack SSB Calling frequencies. |
Standard
CW
Offset |
Approximately +500Hz to +1500Hz CW freq offset is
used
on the HFpack HF Portable SSB calling frequencies. Cross-mode
CW
to SSB QSOs (Upper Sideband voice) are encouraged, especially when signal levels are low or
conditions
are not reliable for SSB-SSB QSOs. |
USB.
Note about Upper Sideband use by HFpack |
Upper SideBand (USB) is the standard on
all HF
bands for HFpack SSB voice QSOs, including the bands below 10MHz! USB
has
become the international standard for non-amateur HF SSB voice and
other
modulation methods. The HFpack and HFLINK groups have adopted the
UpperSideBand
Standard to achieve complete compatibility with a wide variety of
commercial
and mil portable HF radio systems that amateurs are using. With the
advent
of simultaneous "multimedia" SSB voice, CW, image, text, selcall, ALE
Automatic Link Establishment,
HF-APRS, and digitized QSOs on the same channel, UpperSideBand
standardization
will become even more important. |

Call CQ HFpack!" |

|
Primary Calling Frequencies
Traditional HFpack Operating Methods |
1
|
HFpack Calling Freqs are open to all stations:
Base, Mobile, Portable, QRP, QRO. |
2
|
Any
operator may QSO on a Calling Frequency, but please be ready to stand
by for breaks, and for any other operator trying to make a call. |
3
|
There is no Official HFpack Net Control.
HFpack does not use formal net procedures.
(Except special events such as the Dayton HFpack Net). |
4
|
HFpackers
observe courtesy and often use a round table "open QSO" style. Any
operator may perform informal net procedures similar to a net control or
relay as needed, to help the open QSO. |
5
|
HFpackers
take time to include all operators everywhere, especially the weakest
stations and pedestrian mobiles. If you have been talking in a long rag
chew or running a pile-up, please take time out to call:
"Any HFpackers on frequency?". |
6
|
Base
station operators are encouraged, and can help provide a "big signal"
to anchor and protect the open round table QSOs with weaker stations.
|
7
|
Some
of the HFpack Calling Frequencies are internationally recognized.
However, we share these frequencies with many other ham radio operators.
HFpack does not claim or reserve any frequency solely for HFpack use.
We have VFOs.
|
8
|
If you encounter QRM on an HFpack Calling Frequency, please QSY to another HFpack Calling Frequency.
|
9
|
Please listen for weak stations and give priority to portables when possible.
|
10
|
Tip:
Program the HFpack Calling Frequencies in your radio memory channels
ahead of time. QSY by switching channels. This makes it easy to keep a
QSO going with other HFpack operators in case of QRM or changing
propagation. |
Note:
|
These methods are not etched in stone, and they are not "rules".
Instead, this is a suggestive guide based on tried and proven methods,
developed on the air by skilled HFpack operators during more than a
decade of HFpack operation. |
