Principles of vp

Security, Accuracy, Discipline

VP, Aids to security

Low level codes, Authentication, Radio Purge, Security of line

VP, Aids to accuracy

Rhthym, Speed, Volume, Pitch

VP Discipline: DO'S

1, use correct vp


2, maintain constant listening watch


3, use correct F mode


4, use correct crypto/ Ci time periods


5, answer calls in correct order without delay


6, listen before transmitting


7, release presel


8, ensure radio rtns to rx after tx

VP Discipline, Dont's

1, Violate radio silence


2, compromise classified information through use of plain language on non secure/ clr net


3, make unnecessarily long tx


4, chat on net


5, I'D yourself or unit by name


6, speak too fast


7, Swear or lose temper

Types of call

S- single


C- collective (cc1)


A- all stns


M- multiple stns (not pre designated collective)


E- exempt, all but designated stn


L- limited response, only req resp from certain stns

Types of Net

Simple - 1 F, all on it


Rebroadcast - one control stn and sub stns

Types of Msg offers?

Formal: mistat, persreps, 9 lines etc


Informal: any normal tx

Establishing Comms - Radio checks

1, only used when Comms are expected to be poor


2, for complex or combined Comms that req engineering I.e RRB, skywave)


3, Good comsec, dictates RC to be kept to minimum


4, naver make all stns RC in clr


5, best practice, call the Cs in the presumed worst/ furthest position

Responses to a RC

OK over, Difficult over, Unworkable out

Anti Jamming drills

Types of antenna

Resonant


Broadband


Travelling wave

Resonant antenna

An AE that performs at the maximum effectiveness when it's length corresponds to the wavelength of 1 F cycle

Broadband AE

Designed to perform effectively a cross a range of F. They have a greater bandwidth

Travelling wave AE

Are several wavelengths long and highly directional

Propergation table

What is attenuation?

Radio wave is weakened as it travels between the transmitter and receiver

Factors that effect Attenuation

Ground


Obstacles


Atmosphere


Distance

Factors affecting surface wave propergation

Polarity- vertically polarised


Height- usually 1/4 wavelength monopole, max current at center, should be vertical. And close to ground


Type of ground- ice, jungle, desert egc


Terrain- hills


F- the lower the F the greater the distance


Siting- aim for open ground in distance of receiver.

For best surface wave

1, An AE that is vertical and close to the ground


2, siting on high ground


3, open ground in direction of rx stn


4, low F
