That could well be true. I remember in the past that there were sometimes
"unofficial" transmissions arranged by local units for the benefit of their
colleagues who were out of range of normal AFRTS signals. In some cases,
AFRTS genuinely did not know about the transmissions. The frequency suggests
that a radio ham on staff may have set up the service using a ham band
transmitter. Since it's unofficial, and probably unauthorised, you may have
a hard time getting anyone to admit to it :-)
