The HF NVIS Course is designed to teach students the fundamentals of operating on High Frequency (HF) radio for regional and even global communication with an emphasis on Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation.
Students will get hands on with the following:
- HF radio theory
- NVIS propagation theory
- Antenna theory
- Antenna Construction from improvised materials
- Digital operations on HF
- Communications security principles on HF
Course will include large scale practical exercises to cement each concept. Taught by Historian, a multi-domain engineer with several decades of experience on the topic. While there are no prerequisites, it is strongly encouraged that students have had at least the RTO course or possess a General Class amateur radio license.

You need to be proficient in NVIS communications for the same reason you need to be proficient with a pistol in addition to your carbine. The VHF/UHF has a great use case. NVIS in the HF bands is just as vital but plays a different role. Having played with NVIS on my own for a while then going and taking this class with Historian I can say without reservation. Don’t expect to roll out an antenna the day you need it and expect to send and receive safely. Historians class will shorten your learning curve. The antenna building is a huge bonus to the class. Expect to leave with a very capable NVIS antenna capable of 80-60-40 meters use with an SWR <1.5.
Take this class.
I highly recommend this course without reservation, I say again, I highly recommend this course without reservation!
I really enjoyed this class. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and made the information understandable. The antenna building was alot of fun and a good skill to have. I definitely recommend this class!!
