Re: RFDS PILATUS UPDATE

Bravo is scheduled for September and there is another one sometime next year.

Re: Traffic on 135.35

Yes, we have just been assigned it as our new Freq WA wide due to interference (Harmonics) at another base.

Thanks for listening everyone, the traffic on it has really died down so all should be sweet :)
