Do you have any for the 2 meter band.

thanks.

[Phantom]

These are all HF. I don't believe they operate in the HI VHF Band.... Search the ACMA allocation for the answer

[GME Man]

Sorry I meant to say the 70cm band.

[Phantom]

Search the ACMA database. I don't think you will find any allocations in (or surrounding) the 70cm range.... Search and you will find your answers

[GME Man]

Thanks mate.

2 metre and 70 centimetre bands are exclusively for amateur radio operators. If you don't know what an amateur, often called a ham, is, I suggest you google it.

[GME Man]

Do they also operate on the UHF band.

[Phantom]

What did your search resolve?

[blacktown]

You can keep tabs on them right across australia or just your state via Flightradar24.com especially at nighttime
Combined with the CASA register you can compile a list of planes etc.
In NSW aeromedical movements are co-ordinated on the GRN Aeromedical channel. Maybe similar in Queensland?

The RFDS maintains the HF network mentioned in post 1. They rarely use it however with 99 percent of calls to them being made by telephone, including landline, mobile and satellite.

On the rare occasion a radio call is made it is generally from a remote outpost licence holder outside the mobile telephone capture area or without access to a satphone.

Frequencies in the VHF and UHF range (NOT 2m and 70cm, which is an amateur designation and not used by professional communications people) are generally links between control centres and remote TX sites. There are a few land mobile services within the VHF mid and high bands, the aeronautical bands and an Australia wide 500 MHz assignment. Don't hold your breath waiting for a transmission on 500 MHz. The VHF is used for local communications only, therefore will not be heard outside the licence area.

Having recently toured some of the remotest parts of the country and had a bit to do with the RFDS I can assure you that you will be waiting a while to hear anything on HF as well.
