A man withy a medical condition was reported missing late afternoon from his home in Newlands. Police searched the house and all properties in the street.
After discussion Police and given the possibility of an urban search that evening or the next day I did a coverage check around Newlands on my way home to determine the most suitable VHF channel. The EE196 repeater at Wrights Hill provided excellent coverage and Rick ZL2TVY was asked to go on standby.
A friend of the family found the missing man without the need for search.
