Can't remember the date thinking around the same time though, Hastings, Greater Taree, Great Lakes & Gloucester are now "Mid Coast". Makes things REALLY interesting in S44 times in the radio room.

I agree there will be a lot of unpatching going ahead as the OOC will not be able to copetsunami_australia wrote:Can't remember the date thinking around the same time though, Hastings, Greater Taree, Great Lakes & Gloucester are now "Mid Coast".

It will be interesting when we get big fire campaigns in these new joined areas the OOC will not be able to handle the load and it will be the same in district in live in.

I have no working knowledge of the RFS, however having a good portion of the States comms on one talkgroup makes for interesting scanning.
Isn’t that the idea behind the OCC to save resources by having one comms centre when there is very little happening or when it is after hours, then pass comms back to areas when the need arises? Surely that is an efficient way to operate comms?

Re: The Lakes and Gosford RFS
I agree , also I heard they want the RFS to work along the same lines as FRNSW ie radio. You just have to look at the new PPC from both services to know there is a merge coming soon.Scotty wrote:I have no working knowledge of the RFS, however having a good portion of the States comms on one talkgroup makes for interesting scanning.
