3 NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION -May- NAV/COMM - 1 NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATIONS 1. ADF MODERNISED HIGH FREQUENCY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (MHFCS) 1.1 The ADF MHFCS is a high frequency (3-MHz) radio network providing communication services for the operational control and support of ADF and allied aircraft, marine craft and land units. Visiting military aircraft may use either the ADF or RNZAF system when contact with Australian/New Zealand based military authorities is required. Neither system provides a civil or military Air Traffic Control Service. 1.2 The ADF MHFCS is centrally controlled by the Defence Communications Station Canberra (DCSC) at the Network Management Facility (NMF) located in Canberra, ACT, Australia. 1.3 The MHFCS system consists of four Transmit and Receive Nodes located at: EXMOUTH, Western Australia DARWIN, Northern Territory TOWNSVILLE, Queensland RIVERINA, New South Wales ( S, 1 E) ( S, 1 E) ( S, 6 E) ( S, 6 E) These nodes are remotely controlled from the NMF. 1.4 DCSC provides 5 continuously monitored Voice Contact Net (VCN) frequencies from each of the four nodes as follows: VCN VCN 1 VCN 2 VCN 3 VCN 4 VCN 5 Assigned 869.5KHZ 79.5KHZ 91.5KHZ 963.5KHZ 3.5KHZ Dial/Suppressed carrier 868KHz 78KHz 90KHz 962KHz 2KHz Hours of Operation Continuous Continuous Continuous Continuous Continuous Emission: 3KJ3E (Offset - subtract 1.5KHz from assigned) Discrete frequencies are available as required and allocated after initial contact on the VCN Telephone patch facilities between aircraft and ground appointments are available as required, after initial contact on VCN Continuous monitoring of military distress frequency 96KHz SELCAL. Available to suitably equipped aircraft/vessels. 1.5 Hours of Operation DCSC - H. 1.6 Mode Of Operation DCSC is capable of operating independent side band (ISB) or AM modes however, the normal mode of operation is Upper Side Band (USB) or suppressed carrier. 1.7 Callsign DCSC uses the following self evident callsign: "Canberra Control". 1.8 Telephone/FAX contact numbers: Location DCSC Telephone FAX RNZAF AIR OPERATIONS COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE AUCKLAND (AOCCAK) 2.1 AOCCAK is a high frequency (3-MHz) station providing HF communications services to RNZAF, RAAF and other allied aircraft. Visiting military aircraft may use either the ADF or RNZAF system when contact with Australian/New Zealand based military authorities is required. Neither system provides a civil or military Air Traffic Control Service. 2.2 AOCC Auckland is located at RNZAF Whenuapai, Auckland, New Zealand ( S, 4 E).

4 NAVIGATION AND COMMUNICATION -May- NAV/COMM AOCCAK provides 4 General Purpose Net (GPN) frequencies, which consist of the following (note station hours of operation are currently not /7): Assigned.4KHz 88.4KHz KHz 1.4KHz 7.4KHz Dial/Suppressed Carrier KHz 87KHz 8974KHz 1KHz 1KHz Normal Hours of Operation -Z -Z -Z -Z -Z - When HR Operations -Z CONTINUOUS CONTINUOUS CONTINUOUS Emission 2K80J9W (Offset - Subtract 1.4KHZ from assigned) Discrete frequencies are available as required and allocated after initial contact on the GPN Telephone patch facilities between aircraft and ground appointments are available in emergencies or at supervisor's discretion SELCAL. Available to suitably equipped aircraft/vessels. 2.4 Hours of Operation. AOCCAK - Z - Z daily 2.5 Mode of Operation. AOCCAK is capable of operating Independent Side Band (ISB), the normal mode of operation is Upper Side Band (USB) or suppressed carrier. 2.6 Callsign AOCCAK uses the following self evident callsign: "Air Force Auckland". 2.7 Telephone contact number. AOCCAK - : MILITARY HF COMMUNICATIONS 3.1 In addition to that which DCSC supplies, the following HF nets are available: a. RAAF Butterworth. Aircraft transiting to/from Butterworth may relay message traffic via DCSC. Aircraft requiring HF contact with Butterworth are to make prior arrangement through DCSC. b.

AIR-TO-AIR COMMUNICATIONS - CIVIL 4.1 Interpilot air-to-air communications in Australian FIRs may be conducted on frequency 1.MHZ. Aircraft engaged in flights over remote and oceanic areas, out of range of VHF ground stations, and not in the vicinity of a charted non-controlled aerodrome, should use this channel to exchange operational information. Communications between aircraft on this frequency are restricted to the exchange of information relating to aircraft operations. Communications are to be established by either a directed call to a specific aircraft or a general call, taking into account conditions pertaining to the use of the particular channel. As target aircraft may be guarding more than one frequency, the initial call should include the distinctive channel identification "INTERPILOT" or identification of the air-to-air frequency. 4.2 The following examples illustrate the application of the calling procedures. a. Qantas 2, SPEEDBIRD, INTERPILOT, DO YOU READ?; or

AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES DATALINK SERVICES 5.1 HF SELCAL Check For aircraft departing Australian airspace, a SELCAL check is not mandatory. However, flight crews wishing to satisfy themselves with HF performance should perform a SELCAL check after departure, but prior to being transferred to CPDLC. The primary HF frequency will be advised with the transfer instruction. The HF operator will confirm the primary and secondary HF frequencies on first contact. BROADCAST STATIONS 1. WARNINGS AND ADVICE 1.1 A listing of Australian broadcast frequencies is available from the Australian Broadcasting Authority. This list is displayed and maintained by the Australian Broadcasting Authority and is available at the following web address: Note that the datum used is not WGS84 but Australian Geodetic Datum 66 (AGD66). 1.2 Aviation authorities do not issue NOTAM for broadcast stations. It is possible that the information listed may be inaccurate. The station identification is the general location of the reception area and is not necessarily the site of the transmitter. Co-ordinates shown apply to position of transmitter. CAUTION: A considerable number of stations relay broadcasts.
