Australian National 4WD Radio Network Inc. - news 30/10/97.

VKS-737 Adelaide Base Operating Schedules:

With the introduction of Daylight Saving in South Australia from the 26th of October the existing daily Voice Call Schedule has been moved from it original time of 1730 to 1800 hours Central Standard Time to the NEW time of 1830 to 1900 hours SA Daylight Saving Time. The new times will continue until the end of March when daylight saving finishes in SA. The published times for Alice Springs and Perth bases remain unchanged.

VKS-737 Alice Springs Base:

With the addition of new equipment at Alice Springs members now have access to the base on these separate Selcall Numbers: 6104 with Selective Beacon, 0003 with Selective Beacon & 3939 with Selective Beacon as well as Basic Beacon on 3999.

VKS-737 St Marys Base (Tas):

An application as been lodged with the Australian Communications Authority for a Base Station to be installed at St Marys in Tasmania. This base is primarily designed to give coverage into Victoria and New South Wales (particularly in the High Country). Further details will announced as soon as the licence is issued by ACA.

VKS-737 Woomera Base:

As part of the ongoing rationalization and expansion of the Network it has been decided not to renew the licence for the Woomera Base past its present expiry date of December 8th 1997. With the enhanced coverage now provided by the Adelaide, Alice Springs, Gosford and Perth Bases it is felt tha the Woomera Base now provides only very minor input into the running of the Network and should be replaced by new bases in areas not directly covered by existing bases. We are presently negotiating 4 additional bases to give extended coverage to members travelling in all parts of Australia. Details of the new bases will be announced in Sofcom 4WD News when we are closer to commissioning dates.
