Log on from Hillarys
Submitted by aalfred on Fri, 2011-09-23 22:40
Hey Guys,
I recently bought a new boat ( second hand) and I was wondering if I launch from Hillarys do I log on to cockburn searescue or is it whitforts ?
I read that you have to become a member of whithfort sea rescue , does that mean i cant log on with them until i become a member?
Hope its not a stupid question.
Thanks
Seb

Hm I thought it was Whitfords. I don't think they'd have a problem with you logging on with them.
Love the West!

Not sure
I'm not sure Seb, but you should be able to log on with Ocean Reef. VJ6LQ.
Someone else might know for sure, I'd be intrested to see who other members log on with from different ramps.
Cheers Grant..

Depends on you. I log on to
Depends on you. I log on to VJ6LQ - Ocean Reef, even if i head south of Rotto. If I can't raise them for what ever reason I log on to VN6DI - Freo and request a relay.

Yea mate they cover all boats, whitfords is ocean reef call sign VJ6LQ. Just log on using your boat rego. You can become a member if you'll be a regular only cost's $40 annually and they will assign you a call sign. Always good to support your local sea rescue, VJ6LQ are volunteers and rely on fundraising and membership to keep em going.

Whitfords website
Below is the link to our website with all the information you need.
http://www.whitfordssearescue.org.au/
One thing to remember. When logging on and off do so from outside the marina. With the limestone walls I can be hard to receive calls. You may hear us but we will not hear you.

Whitfords Sea Rescue - VJ6LQ
Whitfords Sea Rescue - VJ6LQ - Ocean Reef
Cockburn - VH6CL - Pt Peron
Fremantle - VN6DI - Fremantle
Two Rocks - VMR677 - Two Rocks Marinaa
Rockingham - VN6KC - Pt Peron
When you join up to a Sea Rescue group, apart from giving them a bit of support, they also store all your details on file, so when you login you just say your fuel, number of passengers, location and login time. They know what your boat looks like, what motor, what fuel, what trailer, etc. You can log on anyone anywise (just use the right procedure, call sign and channel. And dont call immediately after the hour).

It worked well
Went out today and i logged on to VJ6LQ and it worked well. And I noticed that it is better from outside of the marina like iceman said.
And thanks to hlokk I wrote all of them down.
Cheers Seb
