Discussion is fine but the lists are not. Sorry.

Last year, the webmaster of "Scan Australia" blatantly ripped off WARSUG's content and proclaimed it as his own which annoyed the living heck out of me at the time. I sent him a polite email asking for some kind of credit, but got a reply basically reiterating his claim that he had done all his own research and the information was his "so nerrrrrrr".

This still makes my blood boil, and despite the fact that it turns my stomach to even THINK about posting a link to this guy's website, WARSUG's information is reproduced at this location (and still without our permission)

http://www.scanaustralia.bigpondhosting ... index.html

Should this site disappear, I'll put the original WARSUG documents on another server somewhere else. Either way, this information is in the public domain, having been published in at least one book that I bought from Dick Smith Electronics some years ago. One way or another, the information will stay "out there"

Good work mate.

Anything with an "A" in front of it is a general traffic car now. Apparently it got too confusing???

eg. AJ205, AG205, AV205, etc, etc

Or maybe the general traffic cars aren't tied to a particular district or station anymore, like the freeway patrol cars?

Ahhhhhhh I was wondering what all these Alpha-prefixed callsigns were for...

This has come from a contact in VKI, they got the traffic cars confused with the GD cars so they made them A then there district, IE AJ205 is cannington area traffic, your thinking of the Traffic Enforcement Group which is Tango Echo.

Was it the Cannington district that brought this in first? I vaguely remember AJ2xx being the first one of these new callsigns that I heard...

I think all of the districs are getting it now, slowly but surly. The cannington district was the first as they have so many cars on the road at one time it can be confusing.

why was WARSUG asked to remove that information? and by whom?

Does anyone know the freqency for the Busselton/Bunbury Area.

For Bunbury and Busselton, try channel 10 (468.075 MHz), channel 14 (468.175 MHz) and channel 29 (468.550 MHz)

Thanks Z.
