HF Communication Trials with BOAC Aircraft on the Polar Route.
Results are presented from a series of trials over a twelve month period between BOAC Boeing 707 aircraft on the polar route to Tokyo and Cove Radio Station (RAE). Long term frequency predictions proved successful in maintaining a high level of successful contacts (94% of calls) at ranges up to 2200...
