The cost prevents a regular reminders about issues that have newsletter in this form but we do hope to continue keeping in touch from time to time, perhaps by come to our attention so bear with email. If you have not done so, let us have your email address. us and look forward to a more newsy edition later. We shall rely on emailing copies to Where and how it all began… you to save costs. The Tasmanian Smallcraft Marine Radio Group (TSMRG) was formed by Change of HF Frequencies… Barry McCann and Les Collins in 1975 Page 2 to establish a means of communication Seaguard Service Terminated… between pleasure craft and a shore Page 3 station. The purpose was to enhance the safety of life and property at sea. We need more subscribers… Page 3 Margaret Base went to air in July 1976 and nine years later moved to South Arm Desperately seeking radio and became Tasmar Radio. In 1987, a operators… remotely controlled base station was Page 4 constructed at Snug Tiers and this facility is still an integral part of the much expanded system that is Coast Radio Hobart today. The name change from Tasmar Radio to Coast Radio Hobart had no bearing on the self-funded and voluntary nature of this network. It was a decision made by the body that oversees the national High Frequency Radio Network, for which we operate Coast Radio Hobart. The local service we provided as Tasmar Radio, of course, still continues. In 1993, the State Government granted TSMRG control and sole use of the old Hobart Radio receiving station on Bruny Island. This station, now fully re-equipped, forms a vital back-up and provides monitoring of the international distress frequencies. Our operations room at the old Hobart Radio building on the Domain began service in May 2004, continuing a marine radio service from this site since 1912. Where we are today… Huge technical improvements have been made over the last two years with the help of volunteers Brian Muir, Andrew Boon and CRH directors, Barry McCann, Stu Braunholz and Mike Hooper. The Coast Radio Hobart radio link equipment at Snug Tiers and Bruny was in a poor state and needed replacement. Telstra PO Box 1655 and Hydro Tasmania came to our aid with the donation of surplus multi-channel and broadband radio Hobart Tasmania 7001 equipment. The Tasmania Police and DPIWE co-operated to establish a link repeater on Mt Nelson and Telephone (03) 6231 2276 Incat Tasmania provided an enclosure and power supply. CRH is constantly improving the coverage and Email [email protected] quality of our transmissions and work is ongoing. We’ll keep you posted. COAST RADIO HOBART NEWSLETTER RG numbers, they belong to you… As a subscriber to CRH you are allocated an RG number which belongs to you and not your boat. If you sell the boat, the RG number does not form part of the package. We have followed up on members who have ceased subscribing to fi nd that they have retired from boating and sold the boat and the RG number. We have taken calls from buyers of boats who have believed wrongly that they are entitled to use the RG number that came with the boat. RG numbers make it a lot easier for our operators to understand, rather than boat names which we know are sometimes diffi cult to pronounce and even harder to spell on the log sheet. More importantly, lots of boats have the same name and we could easily have the wrong information at hand if it was needed. Keep your RG number noted on a bulkhead or something close to the radio so anyone needing it has it at hand. Safety issues… being boat safe! Never leave the shore without life jackets correctly sized for all people on board and instruct any newcomers in the proper fi tting of the jackets or fl oatation devices. Check fuel, oil, water and make sure that your batteries are fresh and charged. Keep on board some emergency supplies, drinking water and some non-perishable food. Maintain your epirb, fl ares and fi re extinguisher… check regularly and observe use by dates. Make sure that you have a good torch on board and charts for the area you intend to visit. Call Coast Radio Hobart as this will give you a radio check and tell us where you are heading, your ETA and when you arrive or reach your home port again and closing, don’t forget to advise us so we can log you off. Domain Radio Console Weather sked broadcast times… Just to remind you of the regular “sked” times… Coast Radio Hobart broadcasts the latest weather forecast at the following times: 0745–1345–1903 Conducted simultaneously from transmitters at Snug, Bruny Island and Maria Isalnd on VHF channels 67 and 68 and HF frequeincies 2524, 4146 and 6227 KHz. Initial broadcasts would be made on the distress and calling channels VHF Ch 16, HF frequencies 2182, 4125 and 6215 KHz. 0833–1803 Channel 82 Repeater on Maatsuyker Island. Marine Safety Information broadcasts are transmitted daily at 1557 EST (1657 ESST). Coastal Waters Wind Warnings are broadcast as they are issued from the Met. Bureau. Pre-announcements are made to this effect on the distress and calling channels VHF Ch 16, HF frequencies 2182, 4125 and 6215 KHz, and then the warnings are transmitted on the weather sked frequencies. Notices to Mariners issued by MAST or other authorities are broadcast at sked times. Note the change to new HF working (Sked) frequencies of 4146 and 6227 KHz. COAST RADIO HOBART NEWSLETTER Keeping in touch… Change of address, telephone change, change of boat details, email address? Call us on the radio. Remember to notify CRH of any change to your address. It will save us postage and we won’t lose contact with you. Mobile, sat phone, home phones are changed from time to time… don’t forget us when you notify your other friends of any change. You now have an epirb, a new GPS, radar perhaps or brand new boat. Help us keep the records straight, advise us when changes occur. An email address makes it so much easier to communicate and it is cheap too. If you have email, tell us. Next time you are out on the water, call us on the radio. It stops our volunteer operators from falling asleep! Radio Etiquette… Please help us to help you! Sometimes the background noise and other interference makes it diffi cult for our operators to clearly understand your message. Here are a few hints when using the radio to make our lives easier. Listen for any other traffi c on the frequency before commencing. Depress the PTT button for 2 seconds before starting to speak. Announce your call sign (RG number) 3 times Speak slowly and louder than you would for normal speech. Use plain English and be concise. Always stow your mike in its proper cradle Bruny Tower and Radio Shack Not a subscriber to Coast Radio Hobart? Why not join now? Coast Radio Hobart (CRH) is a safety net for all boat users. You cannot rely on a mobile telephone to connect you to someone who knows the best way to get you out of trouble. Your radio puts you in contact with CRH and other boats. CRH broadcast weather forecasts and wind warnings and marine safety information several times each day and monitors VHF and HF frequencies. It is a reliable, friendly and professional service. Anyone of any age or boating experience can join. There is no exam but you will be advised to attend a once only new members evening where you will be allocated your unique RG radio callsign to be used when communicating with Coast Radio Hobart. The operation of the radio network, the services offered and the operation of your marine radio will all be explained to you. At about 60 cents per week, can you afford not to join? That’s it, just $30 per year and a joining fee of $10. We rely on your support to maintain this marine radio service. How do I join?

  • AFG Winter 2009.Indd
    The world’s tallest hardwood tree The world’s tallest hardwood tree was discovered earlier this year in Tasmanian state forest less than less than five STILL STANDING kilometres from Forestry Tasmania’s Tahune Airwalk tourism attraction. orestry Tasmania staff Mayo Kajitani and David Mannes were routinely screening some new Fairborne laser scanner (LiDAR ) data taken last August for giant trees when they found a large canopy whose maximum height reading was showing 99 metres. Scarcely containing their excitement, they raced to the Huon River to check their giant, a mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans), from the ground. Using special ground-based laser survey equipment, they got clear sightings to just below the top of the tree, giving readings of its height at over 100 metres. “I had been saving the name Centurion for our 100th giant tree”, says David. “None of us ever imagined that we would find a 100 metre tree instead.” A Centurion was the title given to a Roman officer in charge of 100 soldiers. While it was initially thought to be the only known standing hardwood tree in the world to be over 100 metres tall, subsequent, more accurate measurements found that it actually measures 99.6m and has a diameter of 405cm. Not quite the full Centurion, but still the tallest Eucalyptus tree in the world, the tallest hardwood tree in the world, and the tallest flowering plant in the world. (Californian redwoods are taller, but they are softwoods, and botanists do not classify them as flowering plants). It has now been nicknamed the Bradman because 99.6 was the legendary Australian cricketer’s test run average.

  • Submission to Constedt Review of the Management of Bushfires During the 2018-2019 Season
    SUBMISSION TO CONSTEDT REVIEW OF THE MANAGEMENT OF BUSHFIRES DURING THE 2018-2019 SEASON Evidence and Comment from an Evacuee Geoffrey Swan I authorise disclosure of my name. Dear Sir or Madam As a resident and ratepayer of Lonnavale, I write to you on behalf of my wife and I who are 62 and 75 respectively. We had sound reasons to evacuate from our home with the impending fires just over the hill around Southwood and Denison; combined with at times intensive smoke. We evacuated to the Huonville PCYC evacuation centre for 11 days along with our two dogs. Our house cow and cat remained at our address. I wish to acknowledge the excellent arrangements put in place by the Huon Valley Council and the tremendous support of their staff, executive staff, the Councillors who were involved, and the many volunteers. We did not realise how traumatised we were until we were able to consolidate and reflect on our personal concerns in what felt like a very safe environment. My comments enclosed are based on our firsthand experience of being in the PCYC Evacuation centre and whilst my comments could be perceived as hearsay, they do reflect first person interactions between myself and others, myself and TFS and other authorities, and are my personal observations. I was much immersed in the crisis and had no other distractions other than the fires and their impact on us both. I am also referring to people and places by names, for no other reason than that of transparency. I am not condemning or intentionally exposing.

We are willing to consider experiments and explorations as well as traditional approaches. In addition to verse, Atlas Poetica publishes articles, essays, reviews, interviews, letters to the editor, etc., related to tanka literature. Tanka in translation from around the world are welcome in the journal.
