-In the event of a significant emergency affecting communications across the Sunshine Coast, all amateur radio operators should, if it is safe to do so: 
  
-  * Monitor the VE7RXZ repeater on VHF 147.220 MHz +0.6 T100.0 for traffic or requests for assistance from VE7SCE, if able also monitor VE7SCK 442.650 +5.0 T100.0. +<WRAP third column>

 +  * If able, also monitor simplex VHF: 1: 146.430 MHz, 2: 147.540 MHz, 3: 146.490 MHz, 146.565 MHz for traffic or request for assistance from VE7SCE.

 It is unlikely that VE7SCE will use HF for local communications on the Sunshine Coast, however relays may be required for another station on frequency and operators should monitor EMBC or BCPSN HF frequencies if able to do so. It is unlikely that VE7SCE will use HF for local communications on the Sunshine Coast, however relays may be required for another station on frequency and operators should monitor EMBC or BCPSN HF frequencies if able to do so.
