Last night (Thursday 5th September 2024) I tuned in to Air Traffic Control on 8822 kHz and 8866 kHz.

For civil aviation HF communication, Australia is divided into 6 HF network areas known as Regional Domestic Air Route Areas (RDARA’s) and Major World Air Route Areas (MWARA’s). These are FLIGHTWATCH frequencies and are all controlled from Brisbane, Queensland. (Swld.com 2024)

Above:- RDARA areas.

The 8822 kHz frequency is the Southern area.

The 8866 kHz is in the Brisbane International area.

Below is a short video showing my reception.
