I must have had the caps lock on by mistake, I meant to type character.

Found this on a Google search

GRN/PSN is clearly not their primary means of communication in the future, as previously indicated.

What a pitty 5G will never work in 90% of the area in the MId North Coast (too hilly and they're too scrooge to install enough towers .. hell none of them can even get 4G to work outside of town).

That said, Marine Rescue frankly have VERY LITTLE reason to bother with the GRN anyway given their role.

I wouldn't be taking that article as Gospel, the plan has already changed

"TU" is actually Tuross Heads. The Marine Rescue there used to be tied in with the VRA, or at least all based in the same shed, but I haven't been out there in a couple of decades so it might have changed. I've certainly heard the Tuross vessel on the GRN in the last week or so because they're the only ones who've had piss poor coverage so far.

There used to be a RVCP base at Moruya Heads, not sure if it's still there because the husband who ran the boat died many years ago and I don't think the wife is manning the radios any more either (although I could be wrong, maybe somebody else took over)?

I'm sure I've heard "Bermagui Base" call up for a radio check at some stage, and there is a huge fishing/boating industry at Bermagui so I'd be surprised if there wasn't a Marine Rescue Base there?

And I'm pretty sure there's a base at Eden as well, so I don't think that's a comprehensive list somehow.

It is a start.
Happy to add and correct.
All I can go off is off the marine traffic website
No inside knowledge to access though a cousin is involved with Port Jackson (same initial and surname).
