About Noble Skywave

Since 2013, the Canadian Communications and Electronics branch has brought hundreds of teams from dozens of nations together to test, strengthen expertise, and compete in a friendly atmosphere to what is now known as the most prestigious military-led HF competition in the world: Noble Skywave.

Noble Skywave earned its reputation through highly skilled and proud participating teams—HAM/CFARS/MARS and military radio operators—around the globe. As the leading nation for this event, the Canadian Armed Forces are committed to providing the best possible training experience to all participants and look forward once again to crowning the world’s best HF radio operators.
