The optimum working frequency provides the best long range HF communication. Compared with the maximum usable frequency (MUF), it is usually:
slightly lower
The Frequency of Optimum Transmission (FOT) is typically estimated as about 85% of the MUF. Operating slightly below the MUF provides a more reliable path with less signal attenuation near the reflection point.
