Re: BLUE MOUNTAINS RFS GONE TO GRN

Most of what has been said is correct- you can't just rock up to a major communications site and and just use whatever frequency you like without a high probability of causing interference (potentially to the services you are trying to assist).

Re: FRNSW Console ID's - Why so many?
