I was thinking to myself today how amazing it is that we can track and monitor incidents that happen sometimes. Anybody else think this sometimes?

On my way to work this morning I was listening to the emergency services i.e. Fire and Rescue and QAS attending a traffic accident at the Glasshouse Mountains with updates etc. They said one of the victims was being taken away by Rescue 500. A little bit later I could then hear Rescue 500 conversing with the staff at RBH regarding landing and requirements etc. Then I could hear the staff at the hospital conversing between each other making the arrangements.

I just think that it is pretty cool, anyway that's some of my thoughts for today

Very interesting indeed, hopefully we wont lose this capability when everyone goes digital.. i have a question though, was rescue 500 liaising with the RBH on normal afcom channels or on a hospital link channel? I've never heard anyone chatting on the Brisbane hospital link frequencies I have programmed in

I am sure we will lose the ability to listen to a lot of stuff soon. It was 464.025 Mhz.

hmmmm interesting freq

Are you sure it was on 464.025 ?

yes

So who is Rescue 511? Heard them on the same frequency this afternoon on their way back from Stradbroke Island talking to the hospital.

edit: might be this one http://www.actionrescue.com.au/missions.html

Pretty sure rescue 511 is the EMQ emergency chopper

if memory serves me correct that is the RBH Security channel the repeater is located on the top of the Lady Lamington Building, there was talks years ago to move it onto the top of the ned hanlon building near the helipad however it looks like that never happened.

Was listening to Rescue 500 talking to the hospital on 466.500 Mhz yesterday afternoon.

Hi Steve,
Great read and yes it is interesting and amazing for those who didn't knew about tracking and monitoring incidents that happen sometimes.
