Four-Wheel Drives Australian National 4WD Radio Network Inc.

News Update 6th March 1998
Station relocation:

Over the past few weeks the Gosford Base which is operated on our behalf by Penta Radio Communications has been relocated to its new home at FIREFLY on the NSW Mid-North Coast. Firefly is just west of Nabiac which is about 30km south of Taree (314km North of Sydney).

Unlike Gosford, the new base is located well away from residential areas and is not subject to the high level of local noise that was present at Gosford. The new location also has room for a much improved antenna system over that was in use at Gosford.

The only change that members of both the VKS-737 & Penta Comstat Networks will notice with the move will be improved quality of communication, everything else, except the telephone and fax numbers will remain the same.

Derek and Jeanine can be contacted by telephone on (02) 6559 1888, fax on (02) 6559 1885 or by [email]

Revised Base Station Voice Call Schedules:

With the end of Daylight Saving on Sunday 29th March the VKS-737 Radio Network will change over to its Winter Voice Call Schedule. The schedule is shown below as well as the modified Summer Schedule which will commence at the end of October.

Users of the Perth Base should note that the morning and afternoon schedules have been brought forward by thirty minutes to prevent "clashing" with the voice schedules operated by RFDS Western Operations through their Jandakot Control Centre.
