Radio Club
Why should I join?
Joining your local Marine Rescue NSW unit’s Radio Club is a great way for you to show your support for our volunteers and the vital emergency services they provide on NSW waterways.
Your annual club subscription makes an important contribution to our volunteer fundraising, which is essential to our not-for-profit organisation.
As a club member, you’ll receive a unique Marine Rescue-issued radio callsign. All your details are recorded on the Marine Rescue computer system when you join, so using your callsign will save you time on the radio when you’re contacting us, such as when you Log On, Log Off or want to check your radio is operating effectively. Should you require assistance when out on the water, we will be able to access your details immediately, which will reduce our response time.
Using your Radio Club callsign is not only limited to your local waters. If you travel to any part of New South Wales, you can log on with the nearest Marine Rescue base using your Narooma callsign. The local Radio Operator has access to all your details, so your log-on process will be the same as if you were at Narooma.
You’ll be helping your local unit stay rescue-ready, but your contribution is more than just financial. More importantly, you’ll be joining us on our mission to save lives on the water.
Our Radio Club members’ enhanced safety awareness means they are a valuable auxiliary asset on the water, potentially providing extra eyes to help our crews locate a missing vessel or giving initial assistance to a fellow boater in trouble until a rescue crew arrives on scene.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Marine Rescue Narooma Radio Club.
