Radio Frequencies to follow, but there are usually 2 tower channels, one for the Langley Park Tower, and the other for the South Perth Tower.


From last year's events, the following frequencies were used:
120.850 and 127.900 for the 2 towers.
Crew Shuttle Buses 162.450

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.

Police are using primarily channel 38 and 3 and St Johns are using 458.025

VKI Also using channel 51 as south side traffic command.
