[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 52438, member: 1414"] Yes, it's an auto tune aerial with the whip removed. Connected to a Barrett 550 HF radio. Being a member of VKS-737 includes your licence (Costs can be found in Casper's link above.) is extremely handy in remote areas. Has the ability to use radio connect for [u]emergency[/u] calls to a land line. No call charges. We have found that Alice Springs base is most common contact while in the WA outback, on occasions have talked to Derby, Tasmania and of course Perth. When you are allocated a callsign eg: Mobile 1234 you also get a sellcall number, in this case it would be 1234. This gives you the added advantage of being able to send messages to other VKS-737 members or base stations. [/QUOTE]
