Bad connection on radio, HF, or when Air Route Control
When communicating with pilots using the radio, static or noise can makeit hard to hear what the pilots are saying. What would you do in a situationwhere the static is so severe you cannot hear the pilot very well?

Perhaps I'm being too wary here, but this doesn't sound like an innocent question. A journo looking for another angle to write about the MH flight perhaps? Especially so when read in conjunction with his other post.

Other post.
I think you are correct.
Proceed with caution.

it won't hurt to show some generosity to an air traffic controller wanna-be, a korean student whose first language isn't English. Let's try to think of this situation the other way around. I would love to give you some insight. Try to share your previleage with others. Especially when they have the same aspiration for aviation knowledge.

Kikwon. VHF is the most commonly used frequency band and static is fairly rare there unless there is intensive storm activity. HF, which is used in areas where VHF is not available due to distance. e.g. over oceans, is more prone to interference. If it was really so bad that no contact could be made I suspect that radio failure procedures would be employed.
