Contribution : Based on "Handbook Frequency-adaptive communication systems and networks in the MF/HF bands", by ITU Radiocommunication Bureau, and on modern open standards for HF radio, especially US MIL-STD-188-110D, we want to propose a wider bandwidth allocation for community and indigenous communities which rely only on HF radio for communication. A light licensing, without bureocracy is desired. US-STD-MIL 188-110-D specify bandwidths ranging from 3kHz up to 48kHz. We want to recommend that block allocations should be allowed for civilian use of HF, including licenses allowing access to blocks in different bands, eg, 30m and 60m bands together, for ALE operation (Automatic Link Establishment).
