IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE REGARDING EPIRBs
Hi Recreational Fishers
Please find the attached notice from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. If you have a 121.5 MHz EPIRB, you must order a new digital 406 MHz unit as soon as possible and certainly reconsider going out wide after 1 February if you don’t have one. THE OLD SIGNAL WILL NOT BE ROUTINELY MONITORED and it’s not likely that anyone will hear you.
