"Coast Radio Adelaide Victor India Alpha"

ROFL......This IS funny......

"Coast Radio Adelaide Victor India Alpha" is a coast radio station that monitors and responds to emergency HF radio calls by marine vessels primarily in SA waters but does hear and responds to distress and urgency calls all around Australia.

It is one of 9 Australian stations that monitor the HF distress frequencies and the makes regular maritime safety broadcasts for sea areas D, E and F.

The DSC alerts are monitored by the RCC as a separate function as is the broadcast of weather info on behalf of the BOM.
