Hmmmmm, this is trickier than I first thought it would be, but I'm posting what I did as a kind of "how to find stuff out" post...

I remembered there were some hospital frequencies in the SJA frequencies sticky'd page. But it doesn't have Joondalup on there.

Next thought - Joondalup Health Campus is owned by the Mayne Group of companies. Looking up Mayne's ABN and putting that into the Australian Communications Authoritiy's search page gave only one result, and it's not for WA :-(

Last of all I did a Google search and found a couple of references to Joondalup Health Campus' address. I did a postcode search on 6919 (Joondalup's PO Boxes postcode) and got a hit against Mayne Health but this time in the right state and suburb. Why didn't it show up the first time I searched for Mayne? Because this record has their ACN but not their ABN...

Anyway this record shows a Paging System, a Land Mobile System and a PABX Cordless Telephone Service.

The frequencies that might interest you are:

148.3375 MHz (Paging)
474.9250 MHz (Land Mobile)
1.8900 GHz (PABX)


REMEMBER: Scanning ANY telephone stuff is illegal so don't even try! Stick to the first two frequencies mentioned.

Last but not least, when viewing the record for the Land Mobile system, it shows the location as being "Shenton Avenue, Joondalup" which is a clickable link. There are other frequencies at the same location, registered to the Health Department which may also be interesting:

491.8250 MHz
497.0250 MHz
493.3250 MHz
498.5250 MHz


Hope this helps :-)

Cheers,

Doug.

Depends on what you mean by interesting I guess :-)

Somewhere at home I've got frequencies for a couple of shopping centres, some local councils, that sort of thing. I've had a listen but to be honest it's about as boring as you could imagine...

The only one I can think of which isn't quite "public transport" is Westrail freight stuff. But again you'd have to be a train-person to appreciate it I think.

What I find more interesting is scanning a particular event. A few years ago we (i.e. the usual suspects in the IRC channel) put together a "listening guide" for the Avon Decent. We combined everything we could think of that would have event related radio traffic. If you want to have a look, the document is still here on the main WARSUG site...
