RDARA?

[mfn002]

I recently came across a list of HF aircraft frequencies that were called Regional and Domestic Air Route Areas (Utility Planet: HF Aeronautical Frequencies #1 (2-3 MHz)). I have been unable to find anything else online about these. What I'm looking for is a map explaining what the regions mentioned are.

What you need is...

...and a magnifying glass! I know it's a bit old but most of the info is still accurate. RDARA is used over large empty land masses where MWARA is not appropriate and VHF coverage would be expensive, Australia for example. Get the chart printed out much larger and pin it to your wall!

Gee, thankyou, Martin, it was nice of you to post that chart. Hint.

Sometimes I think I'm wasting my time........ :roll:

I realize this is post is a year old but upon going to the link for the map I found the 404 message, I wonder if you or anyone could re-post it here or pm me with it? Thanks, T.T.

Two seconds - Google for "HFAERO.jpg" - first picture in the "Images" page - full size too.

I had our office engineer girl blow up and print this map out on our plotter for me years ago so I could see it, then she took out the part that I was interested in the most and blew that up. Many freqs to pick from.

If the logo on the bottom left is correct, that map is 16 years old, and the list in the OP's message is at least 6 years old.

This list was published last year - it's not really complete, I understand there are several sites not listed - but at least it's a start. Wish Hugh would update and correct it, as it's pretty useful

The Btown Monitoring Post: Civilian Aero/Military HF Frequency List - Update 11 Aug 2017

I haven't looked - would the Jeppensen charts be more accurate? It appears most everything you find on Google is at least several years old

Jeppesen only covers areas that are governed by the FCC or adjacent administrations. I did start to update the big chart by Photoshopping the new frequencies but it became a horrendous task because I had to find what had changed first!
