Using field radio equipment for reliable communications requires you to understand the way radio waves travel. Once you’ve got a grasp of how High Frequency (HF) and Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) radio waves carry information from A to B, you can optimise your radio network for more dependable communications.

Though the terms VHF (very high frequency) and UHF (ultra-high frequency) are sometimes used interchangeably, they refer to different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum.
