Whilst searching for something else I came across the following book on the website of an radio/tuner manufacturer. It's a 1.2MB PDF.
http://www.sgcworld.com/Publications/Books/hfguidebook.pdf
Contains lots of good reference, definitions and technical information about
HF radio. It's presented in a non technical style, as much as possible.

Thanks Mike. I'm about to seriously look at the Codan/Barrett option.

Thanks Mike.......I've been using

If you copy and paste the shortcut from the post, you might notice that there is a blank space at the end of it when you paste into the address bar in IE. Try backspacing over the space and the link should work.

Read somewhere recently that the proposed BPL (Broadband Over Powerlines) technology (if it ever get's off the ground) will seriously affect the HF spectrum.
Anyone have any
feedback on this?

Yes. BPL is a "Bad Thing" and I trust it will not be commercially viable in Oz as, I believe, has largely been the case in the US. It should be stopped by legislation anyway otherwise it makes a mockery of all the electronic "emissions" compliance those of us who design electronic equipment have had to jump through hoops in order to comply with for the past 10 years or so.
A quick Google suggests this site has some good info:

Vey Interesting, thanks Mike. Excellent link which say's it all.
I had no idea the tentacles of this issue spread so far.
I wonder how the pollies will react to te first death caused by BPL affecting communications with organisations like the Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service?
