I doubt you would be able to hear Sydney from Bathurst... I assume you're referring to tower - VHF is a skywave hence requires line of sight to function. With the mountains in the way, your chances of hearing anything are very slim. HOWEVER, you may be able to listen to aircraft talking to the Sydney frequencies.
You should be able to pick up ML CN 135.25 without too many problems... Also, get the Bathurst CTAF on 127.35 and AWIS on 133.25. I'm sure Bob Bell is the man to talk to about this! |

I'm sure you will pick up some frequencies, just not necessarily Sydney's...

Gerard,
You should be able to receive Melbourne Centre quite clearly from your location (ERSA is listing 135.25 as being able to be received on the ground at Bathurst). You'll hear enough to keep you interested on that, especially when the controller is doing multiple sectors and you can hear the rebroadcast for a million miles around you. Floody |

Hi all
I'd like to add in my query on what scanner to get. I live in Wagga though, so apart from the local airport and rail line, is there anything else I'd be able to pick up there? Thanks! |

Maikha, you will be able to pick up Melbourne Center.
As Floody said in his last post, you will hear plenty - Just not Sydney. |
