Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

We tried a few different channels on our trip to and from Exmouth recently and apart from 2 cars that were together having a chat we didn't hear anything other than the escort vehicles for some wide loads communicating to each other for the road shut downs.

How about channel 1 as the Landy wave channel?

Communications UHF channels chart

Channel 10 i would have thought ?

Channels 10 (convoys), 18 (caravans and grey nomads in general), 40 (general call channel, trucks, wide loads, etc), 29 as previous, except on the Pacific Highway from Newcastle area to Tweed Heads, and the Summerland Way (especially from Kyogle to Legume).
Usually you call someone on the above, and, once communication is established, you drop to a nominated channel (or go up if you've both got 80 channel sets), and do your chitchat there, leaving the call channel as free as possible

Channel 1

Driving out to the Organ Pipes National Park today and the wave was strong. 4 from 4. It must have been the nice weather too getting the drives out and windows down.

So funny for me today - I drove across North Richmond bridge towards Richmond - and there was a Red 110 coming down from Richmond. We passed near the polo fields.

I don't have my (red) 110 yet - I was in my Holden X8 - so I resited the wave - it is interesting how few Defenders I see out here - probably just timing.

All good fun - looking forward to that first chance to wave when I pick up the 110 =

I've been out there about five times this year....Ten if you count return journeys. I saw at least one each time. On one occasion two. The second being, Red.
