Brian, Stewy has a 470 cold cranking amp battery which he has as a spare. He will put it on the charger now if you would like to have it mate. It comes with a battery box as well. Give us a call. Those that do not know Outnumbered, he helped us in the early days with cooking and helping at socials. Good karma Brian. Donna

A huge :1happybday: :1happybday: to you all A really massive HB to the webmaster who keeps fishraider up to date with the latest Cheers mrsswordie

Yes I got so excited that I bought us a fishing website to play with. We started with 600 members and now we have over 12000 This would be a social to INVOLVE the women and get them interested not to let the men do more fishing

Yes Paul I am going to organise that one for summer

Yes I reckon we should have a "take the missus day" or a social where the guy has to be paired with a wife, mum, girlfriend, daughter, mother etc

Very entertaining post Peter. I am waiting with baited breath (pardon the pun) to see how those lures go

Thanks everyone for the wishes. I had a great day at work with a cake and a lunch. I enjoyed dinner out with Stewy and my 2 daughters Cheers Donna

Thanks Steve and Groper

No rest for the wicked - its a work day for me. Thanks for the cheers

Yes we have that covered too - these links below are sponsors of fishraider Scotty Lyons OR REEF MAGIC CHARTERS OR 2 SEATS LEFT ON THIS ONE

If anyone has access to grand final tickets please send me a message. There is a member and his son who are diehard rooster fans that would love to go to the match. Cheers Donna

Welcome to fishraider James I am sure someone will orientate you to this wonderful place we call home. We have a social on in a couple of weeks and it would be a great idea if you could join and and meet some raiders in person. Here is a link to the details for the SOCIAL Cheers mrsswordfisherman

Hi Arch here is a link to a recent post on this and info from Marine Rescue Ken http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=51218 Below is how the comms should go Using your Marine Radio Keep your marine radio on the 'Distress, Safety and Calling' channel. On 27MHz this is Ch 88, on VHF it is Ch 16. Because of prevailing conditions you may be the only ship station that picks up an emergency call from another boat. On many radios, you can set up a dual watch or scan mode to also monitor other channels, such as a local repeater, or a ship to ship channel. Radio courses will explain how these modes are used effectively. Use the appropriate 'Distress, Safety and Calling' channel to call your local Marine Rescue station. You will then be asked to go to a "Working" channel. The Duty Operator will advise which channel to change to. Be sure to listen for any other radio traffic before making your call otherwise you may not be heard, or you may interrupt another user's transmission. Speak slowly and clearly . When making the initial call, state the call sign of the station you are calling three times and your own call sign three times. This is to help ensure the coast station knows you are calling them and who you are. For example you make a call on VHF Ch16; You: "Marine Rescue Sydney, Marine Rescue Sydney, Marine Rescue Sydney. This is (name of your boat, eg) Firecracker, Firecracker, Firecracker". The Marine Rescue shore station will respond and ask you to go to a 'Working'' channel. MR Sydney: "Firecracker, Firecracker, Firecracker. This is Marine Rescue Sydney, Marine Rescue Sydney, Marine Rescue Sydney. Please go to seven three." You : "Marine Rescue Sydney , this is Firecracker. Going to seven three." Now change your radio channel to 73 and wait for the shore station to call you. MR Sydney: "Firecracker. This is Marine Rescue Sydney , how can we help today?" Seek the information you want or advise the Marine Rescue shore station of your plans. When your communications are complete advise the shore station that you're returning to the calling channel, eg You: "Thanks Marine Rescue. Much appreciated. This is Firecracker returning to 16." The shore station will respond: MR Sydney: "This is Marine Rescue Sydney . Out". Now switch your marine radio back to 16VHF radio, or channel 88 on a 27mHz radio, leave the radio on and get back to enjoy your day out. Remember, calls on marine radios are not private conversations. This is a big advantage if you're in trouble. Many more people are likely to hear you. It's another very good reason to use your marine radio as your first means of communication in an emergency. Use your mobile phone by all means but don't bet your life on it as your only means of communication. Only you and the person you're calling can hear you and in an urgent situation this could cost precious time reaching someone who is ready to help. The open nature of a marine radio call also means that courtesy, good manners and appropriate language are also essential. mrsswordfisherman
