I have just had a week out at Darling Downs, Jondaryan Qld. (DDSC) on 126.7.
Even during the week the noise was excessive with what sounds like open mikes
almost continually. Not being a radio boffin, is this caused by transmissions
from very far away?
I flew yesterday Saturday and it just got worse with over transmission almost
continuously and transmissions from Tangalooma (Moreton Bay) to Rainbow Beach
being heard. 126.7 was almost useless at times, especially when the fleet was
being launched at DDSC. Once on Xcountry, we changed to 122.7 which was bliss
compared but I was still monitoring 126.7 on my hand held and it got better
later on in the day but still "open mikes".
On 122.7, there were two presumably glider pilots chatting without call signs,
unlike our DDSC pilots who were very brief and pertinent.
As RAPAC rep for Gliding Qld. and RAPAC South Qld, please give me some feed
back for the next meeting on Nov. 19th.
