Re 'communications are H/F and spotty at best utilising relays usually through Perth Radio'....

Thanks for that, we did try hard...

However, in about April 2001, we were 'closed' - made 'redundo' to save $'s...
something to do with what was termed, 'affordable safety'...
"Your Safety Will Be Enhanced, And It Will Cost You (The Industry) Less'....was the mantra!

And, with H/F sites located at both Perth and Cocos Is. for both INO and SEA freqs. the service we provided WAS very good - THEN!

And yes, we did do many a relay for those who we heard calling, calling...
Cheers,
