[TheList] Police VHF linking

Wed May 13 13:03:26 AEST 2020

Thanks Kerry

Yes 75 4500 is indeed a channel in Timaru which conveys rural traffic from
around the South Island.
It does not convey Timaru traffic as timaru ch2 75 6000 does this which you
can hear traffic from St Andrew's right up to the top of the South island.

And for those who were wondering, the Dunedin police chatter in Timaru
stopped overnight unfortunately.

Thanks guys
Timaru Out
