Listen to Austravel HF:
Listen to our network via our two software defined radios (SDRs). These are internet connected and can listen to our frequencies and also offer a number of other features.
West Australian - Austravel SDR East Australia - Austravel SDR
Each SDR receiver offers simultaneous connections for up to 4 and 8 users respectively in West and Eastern Australia. Around sked times chances are that someone is already listening to the frequency you want at that time which enables you to piggyback, or camp, on another user and listen to their frequency selection. Using the links above you can go in the queue for the next available SDR channel slot and using this makes more slots available for all. Please put your name in the USER tab - you can use your fullname, Austravel Selcall or Amateur radio callsign.
