DOMINICA AIRLIFT


ALE operators are needed to help support disaster relief flights in the Caribbean area.
Volunteer ham radio operators who live in the following areas are asked to activate their home ALE HF stations:
+ Caribbean islands
+ southeastern USA
+ eastern USA
+ Central America
+ northern South America
+ areas that have good HF propagation to Caribbean

If you can volunteer some of your spare time to put your ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) station on the air, even on a single frequency, please respond to this request.
Please see the HFLINK.NET website to text chat with other ALE ops.

We will be using the HFL (voice) and HFN (text/data/sounding) channel sets.
The following frequencies will probably be the most active for ALE voice SSB selective calling.
14346.0 kHz USB
7296.0 kHz USB
5371.5 kHz USB

The ALE enables the radio to be "smart squelched" while scanning HF frequencies, letting the pilot pay attention to flying the airplane, without worrying about monitoring HF static for a call.
There is also a texting feature in ALE, that is sometimes utilized on other frequencies (in the digi sub-band).
