High Frequency (HF) radio is a radio wave that works at frequencies of 3 to 30 MHz with wavelengths of 100 to 10 m, some of the mountainous areas and islands are still classified as rural areas. Rural areas are rural areas where the population is not too dense and there are no high-rise buildings.With the presence of air wave propagation for HF NVIS radio communication at a frequency of 10 MHz that can be used accurately, it can support the creation of communication systems that have effective service quality and can know the model that matches the characteristics of the area, making it easier for operators to build a amateur radio communication network.Propagation is the most important part in designing a communication network on radio waves that are traversed by having several bacterial conditions such as analyzing propagation, estimating interference, estimating cell parameters, reflection or obstacle and distance.VOACAP stands for Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program. This program is an ionospheric model that can predict the performance of HF that is expected to use empirical data.The power received for Ternate-Tidore with a distance of 15 km is 2,304 Watt, while the transmit power for Ternate-Moti with a distance of 37 km is 3,310 Watts and the transmit power for Ternate-Makian is 1,708. Sendangan for the simulation on VOACAP is 7,943 Watt for Ternate-Tidore, 5,011 Watt, for Ternate-Moti, install 3,981 Watts for Ternate-Makian, this shows that VOACAP software has a greater signal than the calculation
