HF Radiotelephone Networks

Hi Signman,

I'm reasonably happy with the Bushphone having used it for a couple of years. Main hassles are the prerecorded voice and time taken to connect means that some people hang up before you get a chance to speak. I gather RADTEL doesn't have this. They both have plenty of bases and Bushphone has an extra one at Woomera, but I find I can't often get onto that base.

Membership fees are about the same. Call charges are not a consideration. Bushphone has a connection fee but a lower minutely rate, so I'd guess the total costs of my calls would be the same.

Its great being able to phone us the wife or kids in the morning when I'm away; and its great that work can't call me :-)))

Cheers
Phil
