RE BAULKHAM HILLS (THE HILLS)
- P25 UHF only listed. VHF also gone.

Baulkham Hills still very active on VHF.
"Fire-1" = 164.0875 123Hz
"Fire-3" = 164.3125 123Hz

Thanks Jeff - will out them back up. What about 'Fire 5'?

I removed them as these frequencies have expired and all are no longer showing on the ACMA database. Either the database isn't up to date (entirely possible) or Baulkham Hills RFS are using frequencies that are no longer licensed.

I can also confirm they are active on those frequencies, even though they are not appearing in the Radcom database.

Fire 5 is still active too.

Interestingly I found 161.075 MHz currently licensed to Hillside/Glenorie RFS as well.

Thanks as well citabria.

I’m surprised any of the Sydney areas (actually, any areas) are still using VHF, especially with the push to remove PMR from many Sydney and surrounding areas. Most likely still in use because these VHF channels are licensed to either the council or the individual brigade and not Telco or similar.

Hill District was definitely licensed to Baulkham Hills Shire Council the last time I checked, how ever I have no idea what has happened to the licenses since.

I do know for sure, that the past two weekends, those channels are still quite active.

Very strange indeed.

I also just noticed that the "ROGANS HILL" site is actually located smack bang in the middle of Castle Hill. I suspect it's an administrative error and it's actually meant to be Castle Hill :)

Is that the 422.0375 at 340 Old Northern Rd?

‘Rogans Hill’ is indeed a sub-suburb within Castle Hill, using the same postcode. The site above seems to fall within the boundaries of ‘Rogans Hill’ so it is (technically) correct.

I thought Rogans Hill was in nearby Cherrbrook?!
