Come on guys HF is sooooo out dated. Yes I know it is still used with good success but in times of sun spot activity etc it is worse than useless. HF comms gradually being phased out in Oceanic ATC in favour of data link and Sat comms....Surely the easiest solution will be Sat phones? Having worked in Oceanic ATC it would not be the first time that during poor HF conditions the flight crew have phoned the unit on their sat phone making their position reports.
