sat phone or hf radio

Probaly the only problem will be the amount of traffic rather than a lack of it so a UHF should be enough

thanks for that graham

Mick,

To be completely honest you wont need anything. On that weekend if something happens, just wait beside your car, but try not to get run down by the millions of other cars roaring up 'The Track'.

Your thumb will be plenty.

Sing out if you want some advice about REAL remote travel. ;-)

Cheers,

Mark

There must be around three threads this week on a similar subject Mick, with lots of good information and advice given. If that hasn't helped you make up your mind, members here cannot do it for you. Everyone's needs are different and you need to decide what level of risk and level of independence in case of an accident, medical emergency or breakdown you want. UHF is a very good start.

From memory, channel 3 duplex UHF is a distress channel out there.
There is a sign past Windorah notifying people of it.

g'day all, I understand Optus now have a tower for Birdsville full time, last races they towed in a portable tower, might be an idea to check locally.
