Conversion of Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Air Force (RAF) Short Wave Radio Telephony from Very High Frequency (VHF) to Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

7 May 1949

A file of meeting minutes and memoranda concerning the conversion of Royal Navy and Royal Air Force short wave radio communications equipment from Very High Frequency (VHF) to Ultra High Frequency (UHF). The documents discuss the need to make the change due to the increasing congestion of VHF frequencies; the estimated cost of the conversion; and the need to convert at the same time as the Americans, to prevent the disruption of military cooperation.
