ACMA Inspectors in action.

Post by Mike Alpha » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:24 pm

My mate Martin down Narrellan way noticed a station wagon covered in antennas driving around his street the other day. The car had ACMA markings on it and a doppler DF type antenna on the roof.

He jumped out and had a chat to the guys who were quite happy to talk to him. They told him they were trying to track down the source of RF interference in the area that was causing digital TV reception problems and opening electric garage doors.

They showed him a spectrum analyser that was displaying a spike in the 168MHz band. He noticed a yagi on the back seat and a bunch of pelican cases in the back.

They were happy for him to take some pics.

might have to get em to visit some sites within my workplace that are using freq's that are not licensed...

i am sure a few fines might be a nice wakeup call for them to start taking frequency licensing and radio comms seriously
