High Frequency (HF) 

Frequencies between 3 MHz and 30 MHz (3 Mega Hertz and 30 Mega Hertz). Used by governments, ships, radio stations and amateur radio operators.
I decided to use the High Frequency (HF) radio last night and try my luck at reaching Japan.

Playing the high frequencies 

An idiom used to describe the moment of downturn for a previously successful enterprise/musician/actor etc. A clear, defining point which, when reached, means nothing will be the same again.

Similar to 'Jumping the Shark' or 'Nuking the Fridge'.

From Loud Reed and his wife staging a high frequency dog concert ("an inter-species social gathering").....
Yeah man, they were really playing the high frequencies that time.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
