The purpose of this guide is to share the basics of installing a solar-powered HF radio station.
For some years now, Rhizomatica has been working to “modernize” HF technology, allowing the transmission and reception of digital information.1 HF technology offers many advantages for autonomous communication in remote areas, and from our experience, it is possible and feasible to train people without much previous technical experience in the installation and use of solar-powered HF communication systems.
This guide is an attempt to share the learnings from on-the-ground experiences and interactions with communities, and to facilitate and support further training processes for the use and installation of HF-based communication networks.
