The Australian Travellers Net

To provide safety for radio amateurs travelling long distances often
in remote areas, or being marine mobile, is the Travellers Net on air
365 days of the year.

Anyone can also send a telephone message to the travellers or inquire
about their whereabouts.

A team of operators run the Travellers Net on 14.116 MHz with a
check-in at 0200 UTC, and for 21.185MHz it is 0400 UTC. Priority is
always given to urgent traffic.

Sometimes the use of relay stations is necessary for those not heard
by a net controller.

Each controller was recognised by a WIA Presidents Commendation at the
WIA AGM Hahndorf in May in 2017.
