A HiFER is a shortwave beacon station, run by a hobbyist under FCC Part 15 rules (or other appropriate rules for stations outside of the USA). FCC regulations part 15.225 allow operation in the 13.553-13.567 MHz range with a field strength of 10,000 uV/m measured at a distance of 30 meters.

Related hobbyist beacon bands are LowFER on longwave and MedFER on mediumwave, also known as the AM broadcast band.

In addition to legal beacon stations, there are also many hobbyist run beacons which are not legal under government regulations. These are commonly referred to as High Frequency Beacons.
