Have you got a computer program that can receive marine digital selcall or do you just listen on the channels direct?

468.000 Rotto Police (ch7 Police UHF)
I'm about 30kms inland so no luck for me on most of those freqs :)

Is ch7 VKI always linked to the freo district or do they disconnect it for times like this week being 'schoolies' week?

If you're interested in the marine side of things, I strongly recommend the marine radio handbook that can be downloaded at http://www.amcom.amc.edu.au/handbook/.

It's got a rundown of the 156MHz marine VHF frequencies plus a lot of info about the HF side of things.
