DigiTas is hearing from multiple sources that Basslink's Telco cable is currently experiencing an outage. Just a day after an outage of both of Telstra's Bass Strait cables affected much of #Tasmania CC: @isbasslinkfixed #politas

Semaphore is reliable and wireless! Great over short-to-medium distances, though there’s risk of signal degradation depending on the number of relay points between sender and receiver.

I think when we've got everything fixed we have two optic fibre cables and one broad band radio system.
A 2nd radio system ?
As recently as the 1960s we relied on poles and wires along the NW coast to Stanley then into a copper cable to King Is and then Vic. 24 channels only.

My dog Nelly has a best dog friend called Larry. Larry has an owner called Tom who is my friend. The young dogs swim together in an idyllic spot of the river Wensum every morning. They bring back sticks to us in exchange for treats. It was all very idyllic until this happened...
