On The Airbands

Lots to tell you this issue! Winner of our highly successful “Name the Waypoint” competition was R M Grey, 4 Johore Place, East Lindfield, NSW who walked away with a world-wide collection of twenty or so Jeppeson radio-navigation charts. The answer, known to most entrants, was “Gulna”.

Alan Muddle of Dungog, NSW recently alerted me to some unusual monitoring fare he had discovered on UHF military air frequency 261. 4 MHz in AM mode. Listening at home, Alan monitored a station obviously not Australian in origin, and most assuredly not military in nature.

Alan Muddle is one of the most devoted and knowledgeable UHF military buffs I know of in this country. He lives, eats, sleeps, and breathes military UHF. We got together to chat about his frequency find, and discuss how it came to be monitored on the eastern seaboard of Australia.
