    AFTER almost a year without a designated radio channel for boaties on Fraser Coast waters, a new repeater station has been installed just in time for storm season and a major fishing competition. In December 2018 the VHF repeater station at Sandy Cape on Fraser Island, which is jointly owned and maintained by Volunteer Marine Rescue Hervey Bay and VMR Bundaberg, was hit by lightning. This took the area's boatie "working channel", channel 22, out of action until it was replaced last Monday, thanks to a Federal Government grant.
