Antenna configuration in mountainous terrain? Antenna needs to be highest point or along a tree in valley?(had issues transmitting traffic over HF during RECCE/CFF) Best antenna you’ve seen used in this configuration?(seems to always be limfac in good comms in mil) Data send time? Approx how long will file send in perfect environment if we’re talking 1 photo. Again, anything you have to show the ease of use and best set ups is helpful. HF was horrible in RECCE applications and often did not work which required back up SAT transfers in contested environments. Not ideal.

Sorry. Can't comment much. I am RF knowledgable but my field perspective is severely lacking in recent years.

A photo on HF is brutal. Sstv would be the best way. Outside of that, a photo could take an hour in bad conditions.
