Terrey Hills Division provides the
backbone of Coastal Patrol's communications facilities
in the Sydney region. With a range of MF/HF and VHF
radios communicating via local antennae and those at
Killcare, North Head and Miranda, the radio base at
Terrey Hills can communicate with vessels from Newcastle
to Wollongong and beyond.

|
The primary role of the Radio Base at
Terrey Hills is to maintain a listening watch on the
marine radio emergency frequencies for vessels calling
for help..... Mayday or Pan Pan calls from mariners in
distress. Once such a call is received, authorities such
as the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Canberra or NSW
Water Police are contacted to initiate an appropriate
response.

The secondary role
of the Radio Operators at Terrey Hills is to provide a
monitoring facility for leisure craft when they venture
onto the water. Whether they are sailing from one port
to another, going fishing or just cruising Sydney's
magnificent waterways, "Coastal Patrol Sydney" maintains
a log of such vessels and provides an umbrella of
safety. Logging on...

Another important function is to assist
in the delivery of quality marine education
programs for the public and
comprehensive, ongoing training for Coastal Patrol
members to ensure constant improvement of boating skills

Volunteer Coastal Patrol rescue crews give their

at times in bitter cold and fierce storms, to help
their fellow mariners.
