What are they up to??

Post by Mike Alpha » Fri Mar 19, 2010 10:27 pm

Found these new VKG registrations on ACMA.

1825019-2240818 468.9625000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)
1825020-2240818 459.4625000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)

1825021-2240819 468.8250000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)
1825022-2240819 459.3250000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)

1825023-2240820 469.0750000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)
1825024-2240820 459.5750000 MHz 10K1F3E Qantas Jetbase SYDNEY AIRPORT (205411)

New Airport Ops channels perhaps?. Why so many, considering they already have Ch 53 and 64 on the same site?

Maybe the feds that police the airport are going to use them instead. Can't see why they need the extra channels, as the NSW Police don't do much at the airport these days. The feds cover it now.

if an incident occurs the feds contain it until the nsw police arrive, unless the incident occurs on a plane or something that falls into federal jurisdiction...

i'd say it could be a liason channel between afp and nswpol for use at airport rather than using up one of their normal operations channels

And just recently, this popped up on ACMA:

468.5250000 MHz 10K1F1E Telstra Tower Adjacent Water Tank Hume Highway GREENACRE (5202)
459.0250000 MHz 10K1F1E Telstra Tower Adjacent Water Tank Hume Highway GREENACRE (5202)

Interesting!

Is that the same location as the Chullora GRN tower?

Mike,

These two are easily explained, next time I talk to you.

No. This site is next to the water tower about a kilometer west of the GRN site. Funny that they have chosen to tag on to a mobile phone tower and not the water tower itself. There's lots of room on top of the water tower which has a single UHF array on it carrying multi Energy Australia freqs. And it's got a great outlook to the west and south west. http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/site_ ... TE_ID=5277
