You are correct... probably a frequency i should have right by now

Hey Bermejo, The helipad in fremantle is firmly outside controlled airspace - so there is no requirement for them to contact Perth approach before depart or arrive. The area frequency is Perth Centre - 135.25, while they are not required to transmit on that frequency they may occasionally ask for tr...

You're going to have to be more specific: what kinds of things are you wanting to listen to etc.

Hi James, Welcome to WARSUG.

Unfortunately the sales practices of US based carriers is a bit outside the scope of this forum, being based around Radio use in Western Australia.

If you have any questions or discussion on any Australian Carriers however we're happy to talk.

BMBR391 (RJ85) ETA 1135

Have set up a couple of receivers on WAERN and there's a significant delay in audio between the repeaters, which probably explains everyone talking over the top of each other (the local repeater sounds like it's quiet but someone else has already started talking) With 205 and 380 going i'm not hear...

tree/grass/scrub fire Hidden Valley Rd Parkerville - Called 88 on arrival from Mundaring FPO

Makes sence to me... considering 3rd alarm is an automatic turnout for the ICV in theory

Property under threat, 3x CFRS on the way for asset protection, Air Support on the way as well So far the following have gone up there: Wannamal W...
