Questionnaire on High Frequency Broadcasting (HFBC)
The aim of this questionnaire is to gather information related to different aspects of the use of the High Frequency (Short Wave) Broadcasting service. The Radiocommunication Bureau intends to assess the particulars collected from your replies, in order to:

  • - improve the planning procedure,
  • - provide a more complete and reliable HFBC database,
  • - review the HF broadcasting reference tables,
  • - put in place modern electronic means of communication between the Bureau and the notifiers, i.e. web application, online database.

The Bureau counts on the collaboration of all administrations, broadcasters, frequency managers or other organizations concerned to respond to the questionnaire by 15 January 2018, (it will be definitely closed on 31 March 2019).

If you want to submit documents with information complementing your answers to the questionnaire, you can send them to brbcd@itu.int
