HF Interoperability Exercise 2013 in full swing

The HF Interoperability Exercise 2013 started Friday 04 October and
ends on 14 October.

Amateur radio operators all over the world are participating on the
air during the 10 days of this international communications
preparedness exercise, using Automatic Link Establishment (ALE).

The innovative ALE system uses a digital selective calling method to
enable radio users to ring each other up on High Frequency shortwave
using their callsigns like a phone number.

"HFIE-2013" as the radio exercise is known, is sponsored by HFLINK.COM
http://hflink.com and the Global ALE High Frequency Network (HFN)
http://hflink.net

Thousands of stations have registered and many of them will be
on-the-air with their Single Sideband (SSB) radios talking by voice or
texting. The exercise is intended to provide training and maintain
proficiency for HF Interoperability; an important issue these days,
because of the new standards for government and non-governmental
organizations in emergency and disaster communications. After
completing the exercise, participating radio stations are issued
Certificates and Wallet Cards.

They also keep track of each other using an internet-connected chat
room with a map feature that tracks their operating signals on the
following frequencies.
