It means HF in the traditional sense of the word. The cellphone issue is due to the use of satellite links to many cells. There is no reason to believe that line of sight (LOS) communications VHF and above are likely to be impacted by these events as long as they are not depending on ionospheric propogation. HF depends on ionospheric bounce. Satellites depend on the signals being able to penetrate the ionosphere. Both of these will be effected. Terrestrial microwave and VHF line of site, 802.11, 2.4GHz cordless phones and the like do not.

I think you will find that 802.11b and other terrestrial microwave LOS links don't meet any of those criteria and should be unaffected. Some small increase in the noise level may be detected.
