"The Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA), High Frequency (HF) Technical Committee (High Frequency Industry Associations (HFIA)) provides an industry driven forum for the interactive exchange of technical ideas and information in the area of High Frequency Communications."
This HFIA Web Site was created to provide interested parties information on and about the High Frequency (HF) Industry Association (HFIA) with detailed, up-to-date information about High Frequency Radio, HF Modems, and developments in HF Radio, as well as about the many ways the association is working with Governments and users around the world to support new, standardized, and interoperable systems to support HF radio users.
