HF SSB COMMUNICATIONS
High frequency single side band communications achieve reliable
long range transmission and reception over distances of thousands
of miles. The primary reason is due to skywave propagation which
allows HF radio waves which are beamed toward outer space to be
reflected back toward the earth’s surface by the ionosphere. Another
reason is because of a transmission process known as single side-
band which puts all the transmitter’s power into sending just a radio
