I called the local organisers and they made out as if it's a state secret!

Called CASA, they didn't know. ACMA won't say as the Red Bull people asked them to keep it secret.

Just who do these **** people think they are????

Scanner picked up traffic today on 127.9 and 120.85, as numloxxx has also recently posted on the aviation band topic.

Cheers.

Frequencies have also been confirmed by another friend who went out today to watch the practise.

I'll be out tomorrow Saturday and Sunday.
