Just wanted to let you know of something really cool that I heard yesterday while parked in my car at the Joondalup shopping centre (near the train station).
I was scanning through and heard on 468.325 what appears to be a local simplex training channel for the academy.
They were doing full practice excercises. The base operator was WT100, and he was very strong, sounds to me like he was on a base radio of some sort. (he was also pretending that he was VKI)
The trainee cops were using portables (could hear them moving around) and had callsigns such as WT809 & WT106, didn't get any others, but there was about 3-4 "vehicles" involved

I know that they have like a pretend chicken treat store at the academy and a service station (i think) and they do training amongst all this stuff.
It was quite fun to listen to, as WT100 was just making jobs up as he went along. Handing out various jobs to them such as
"Someone is refusing to leave the chicken treat store"
"Mrs blah just called up and her son is trying to kill himself, i'm not sure what you guys want to do but i'll leave it in your hands" (WT100 said that to the cops out on 'patrol' and let them decide what they want to do with it themselves).
Has anyone else ever heard this? You'd need to be in Joondalup as the portables don't have much range.
Btw it was about 5:15pm yesterday.
Cheers
