SWLD - Australian Police HF Radio Frequencies

Australian Police HF Radio Networks

The Australian state & territory police agencies have some of the largest patrol areas in the world.
Australia measures 4100 Km (2550 Mi) East to West, and North to South 3180 Km (2000 Mi).

The  Kalgoorlie-Esperance police district in Western Australia covers an area the size of France in itself.

HF radio is vital for communication links between far reaching patrols and their equally remote bases.
