Welcome to the specialized Short Wave (HF/HF) section, which forms the very core of the amateur radio hobby on the CQ.sk portal. This discussion forum is intended for all communication enthusiasts on frequencies up to 30 MHz, covering all classic amateur radio bands from 160m to 10m. Whether you are an experienced DXer who tirelessly hunts for rare expeditions, or a beginner who is just discovering the magic of ionospheric wave propagation, this place is made for your community.

Share your practical experience with the construction of effective HF antennas, tuning transceivers or comparing the technical parameters of modern SDR devices. We discuss the specifics of operation in various modes - from traditional telegraphy (CW) and voice transmission (SSB) to modern digital modes such as FT8 or amateur radio teletype. Short waves offer a fascinating opportunity to establish connections around the world with minimal power, which requires deep knowledge of propagation conditions and technical proficiency. Join the debate, ask for expert advice or inspire others with your successes in international competitions. Your contributions help build a quality information archive for the entire Slovak amateur radio community.
