Ho appreso per caso dell'esistenza di VKS-737, la rete radiotelefonica HF australiana, nata per servire gli utenti "dispersi" nell'outback australiano.
Come recita il sito web dell'organizzazione, la missione di VKS-737 è "...to provide emergency and general radio communications assistance services to people who live, work or travel in rural and remote areas of Australia, and to be the pre-eminent provider of high frequency radio communications services throughout rural and remote areas of Australia".
Sul sito web di VKS737 ( http://www.vks737.on.net ) sono riportate le frequenze HF dei 7 canali disponibili... (vedi anche sotto, ndr) non sono dietro l'angolo, ma chissà che non si riesca ad ascoltarli, qualche volta, immaginando grandi spazi aperti con una natura selvaggia e - a volte - letale.
