Today, the Southwest Bushfire Games were held in Bridgetown. I thought I had better take some photo's for posting here
This is a panorama shot of the Bridgetown Showgrounds. Scroll right to see in full.
Your browser may adjust the image to suit the screen. In that case usually clicking the image reverts to full size.
This was taken during the lunch break. Thats why the ground is empty of people.

Ahh yes much better in that picture, I did wonder if it was a 9.2 but incorrectly decided against it.
That HF Antenna on the quadie is a manual tune. I.e. when the frequency goes past a certain point the rider has to change a plug into a different socket.
I'd say the speaker was for a siren/PA If it's a SES quad bike with standard HF they should have a small speaker for the HF which may be mounted on the bike or if they use the transportable HF sets in orange boxes then it will be mounted in that.
I'll get a photo some time of our portable HF's and create another thread for SES equipment.
