Radio Communication frequencies inc Aircraft, Military, Amateur Radio, Shortwave and anything else that comes under the Radar in N.S.W. - by Michael Bailey
Hello and welcome back..... Up to four Black Hawk military helicopters will be flying over parts of
Sydney over the next few days as part of an Army training exercise.
The Defence Force says the exercises ensure aircrews are proficient
at flying in Sydney’s urban, suburban, rural and waterway environments
in all conditions.
It says flights will occur during the afternoon and evening, normally not later than 11:00pm
The Army says the training has been designed to have as little impact as possible but some noise will be noticeable.
The helicopters were flying over Castle Hill in north-western Sydney last night.
Tonight they will be in Sutherland, they will be in Holsworthy and Londonderry on Friday, Monday and Wednesday.
The choppers will fly over North Head next Tuesday.

Hello and welcome back... Have you ever driven past a tower and wondered what all the antenna's are for ?....I HAVE.
Have you ever wondered what what frequencies come from that tower?....I HAVE
Wonder no more.
My brother put me onto this website as he is also into Radio Communications.
This website uses Google maps and plots antennas and the Frequencies that run from the antenna... Lots of hidden antenna's that you didn't even know existed.
I looked in my local area and I noticed an antenna on-top of the local library, by clicking on the red circle I can see that it supports council frequencies and also aircraft frequencies that I never knew existed.... Interesting.
The website is at = RF MAPPER
You will be greeted by a pop up asking for what towers you want eg = Mobile coverage / Amateur radio operators or Everything else. Make sure you take the tick off "Show relevant tiles" otherwise it just looks confusing.
Choose "Everything else" and click the blue X on the top right side of the popup and wait a few seconds depending on your internet speed. Then find an area and away you go.
To get rid of the blue lines click the eye pic on the bottom left where it says "Point-to-point"
To make it easier to see the map click the "Eye" icon on Nasa SRTM and also "Black"to turn off layering
And that's it, The red icons are the one's with the most info...Have fun
Massive thank you to spench.net for the use of photos from his website.
