Frequency issues

As some of you know there is speculation that we are receiving interference in the upper part of the 72mhz band at the field. We had six "episodes" on the last race day that may or may not have been cause by interference or other radio issues. I'm still not sure if my crash was radio or pilot induced.

I have been in touch with Bob Brown, our District II AMA Vice President and District III has a frequency analyzer for the use of it's clubs. It is on it's way. We have two weeks to use it and then need to return it to him. I'll let everyoner know when it arrives.

Thanks Joe.

The frequency analyzer has arrived. We may use it for two weeks before I have to send it back. If anyone wants to do anything with it before this weekend it is here at the store.

I want to use it during the May contest to monitor the 72 mhz band but we can use it as much as we need to. The return date is no later than May 22.

It uses a nine volt battery and seems pretty simple to operate. If someone is going flying and wants to, feel free to try it out.

Sounds, good.

I got to get something ready to fly first
