Maybe if you guys flying into/out of Darwin submitted a few Air Safety Reports about the ATIS it might get upgraded to VHF?
Why on earth should we need to do that? Is there nobody around any more who could use their brains, commonsense or their ears and just do it instead of requiring endless pages of paper so they can justify to some beancounter somewhere buried in the bureaucracy that a VHF ATIS would be a great thing?

Oh toughen up, Renurpp. You need to spend more time in white. After all, it does rule!
