SEQUEST was formed on August 1st, 2009, to provide a community-focused volunteer emergency radio monitoring group for CB radio users and to improve services for the CB Radio network. In 2011, we expanded into marine radio to enhance coverage across Moreton Bay and surrounding inland waterways, particularly when local blue-water rescue groups are unavailable or areas cannot be reached by radio. As an ACMA-licensed limited coast marine rescue station, we offer maritime emergency radio communications to all vessels. When we founded SEQUEST, it was called the Southeast Queensland UHF Emergency Team (SEET). We later added "SERVICE" and renamed it "SEQUEST." 2011 was a significant year for SEQUEST, as we responded to the flood disaster in Southeast Queensland, expanded into the maritime radio network, and obtained our first ACMA license, "VND717," a limited coast non-assigned license. We are dedicated to assisting the maritime community and supporting volunteer marine rescue groups. In 2013, we once again played a vital role in supporting the community across Southeast Queensland. Volunteers dedicated countless hours to keeping social media services updated and staffing radio emergency channels for calls for assistance from the Lockyer Valley to the Fraser Coast. In 2016, founder Shane Barnes received the City of Ipswich Medallion for his valuable contributions to the Ipswich community. Shane was also nominated for the inaugural Queensland Volunteering Awards but was a runner-up. A year later, Jimboomba member Matt was nominated for Queensland Volunteer of the Year for his role during the floods that affected Jimboomba. Another milestone was purchasing the IPS06 UHF CB Repeater. In 2017, our Jimboomba base assisted with communications in the area following Logan River flooding caused by ex-TC Debbie, receiving over 100 calls for information updates. The QLD Government invited our organisation to join the Emergency Volunteer Advisory Forum as a member. SEQUEST has also supported many local community events, including the Leukaemia Foundation's Light the Night, Brisbane Convoy for Kids, Oxfam Brisbane Trailwalker, VMR Brisbane & Emergency Expo, Brisbane All Emergency Services Expo, and Marine Rescue Bribie Emergency Services Expo.
