I use www.radtelnetwork.com.au/ they only charge $22 a year you still use 4 of the VKS 737 network channels. One of the best time to call on HF was between 4:30 and 6pm , but on VKS 737 system you couldn't call your mates,because of the skeds. Radtel uses 7899khz and I found it free most of the times.
otherwise have both, skeds are good to let Base stations know your safe, or messages can be past onto you

Hmmm
My current Radtel renewal and the radtel web site indicates that $22.00 per year is to retain your Selcal/Radtel ID. This fee does not permit or authorise use of their frequencies.
I also believe that radtel only provides
HF radio telephone
services. General voice operation is not permitted on their network (licence conditions) but I could be wrong!!!

Paul

There are three oportunities with HF
VKS 737 4x4 radio Club
Rieds Radio Data (Cowra) The old Bush Telegraph.

Even though the RFDS is now old hat the channels are still open for emergencies .
For phone interconnect the HFradio Club is the cheapest system.
