Thanks to all who gave advice today. Got onto

Thanks again for the help. I am now a veteran of ONE S ked.

Hi Vince,
Like above, welcome to the VKS 737 Radio Network. Many things change in time, mostly for the better. I have been a member of the network since 1994 and you get to hear some great people. Many people have said to get rid of the HF and get a Sat phone. There have been a couple on times in remote outback locations where others in my group have had, and could not get through to the outside world. Turn on the HF and will get someone from the many bases around Australia.
These guys do a fantastic job and it is a real piece of mind when travelling into our great outback to know that help if needed is only a call away. It is cheap insurance to be a member of this great Radio Network.
