Busselton Airport transmitting automated weather info on 128.05 Mhz
No reference on ACMA Website.
Anyone have info ?
Readable signal here in Bunbury about 50 klms away.
If you look at a map you'll see that a direct line between Busselton and Bunbury goes mostly over water - ideal conditions to carry a signal. Combine this with location of the transmitting antenna (probably up a pole) and your external discone and yes, you'll pick up the signal in Bunbury for sure.
ACMA Website shows the date approved as 18th Sept 06 but in my original posting i could hear it in Bunbury on the 7th August 06.
So i wonder why was it on air before being approved ?
It could have been 'test transmissions' prior to commissioning, or ACMA might have just been taking a while to process the paperwork and had given a verbal approval to start using it.
