I remember going out to LHI before the windy point wind was on the AWIS but you could talk to the BOM meteorologist on the radio, but was told while visiting the office there on one occasion that CAsA has told them (BOM) to stop using the radio as they did not hold a valid radio licence and could not talk to aircraft. Once again a great safety outcome from the regulator. At least they put the windy point data onto the AWIS after that.
