Well, well.
I had no idea (why were we not told?) and I am very sorry to hear this news.
Sympathy aside, I have a technical Q.
These days of CPDLC and ADS, we don't use HF much except to check in and get our selcal. When we do, our ears are subject to the special 'white noise' which we have come to expect and enjoy.
What do the radio controllers hear? It cannot, surely be that same noise we hear.
Cummon, I want to know.
