I have recently purchased a second hand HF radio. Its a crystal radio with 10 channels. I have done some research and came to some conclusions which I am trying to confirm. Its voice only so no selcall or data.

1. VKS737 costs to join but you can call in and use the frequencies to talk to others or the radio operator. You get a "mobile" callsign.

2. RFDS doesn't cost but it's for emergencies only - no chatter/radio checks. You use your ACA VK2........ callsign.

Now being a crystal radio I have a limited number of channels. I am looking at doing a Cape York and top end trip this year. Would I be right in saying that the Cairns and Alice Springs frequencies should cover me for the trip?

Thanks in advance
Tim
