Your right...why do dopes have to ruin it for the rest of us on other parts of the globe I will never know :^( Broadcasting it is ungentlemanly to say the least. Good luck to the underdog..

[RCSE] FREQUENCY CONTROL BOARD
Fellow Addicts, When Bruce and Randy returned to Louisville from "Bruce and Randy's Excellent Adventure" in SoCal, among their tales was one about a frequency control board they used in a contest environment. In a nut shell, pilots attached their AMA cards to the board over the channel number to claim the channel for their flight. BR said it was a fantastic system, which continued the tradition of impounding the transmitters, but eliminated "impound workers attaching frequency pins to the transmitter" by holding the PILOTS responsible for claiming the channel, and for sharing safety. I have contemplated adopting the board for Louisville's use, and think it's a good way to go, but some think use of the existing "impound workers attaching frequency pins to the transmitter" scheme is better, suggesting perhaps PILOTS can not be trusted to claim the frequency, and for sharing safety. I would appreciate as many replies to this message as possible, pro or con, about your experiences with this frequency control board scheme to help us decide which way we should go. Scott
Re: [RCSE] FREQUENCY CONTROL BOARD
I don't know much about contests, but at the power plane field I fly at, we use a combo of both systems for everyday flying, and it seems to work well. If someone wants a freq. they take the pin from the board to place on their x-mitter and place their AMA card in a little clear slot under where the pin was.

We have some clubs in the Harrisburg, PA area who have been doing this at all fly in/ competition for years now, it works fine. Only problem is getting some of the AMA cards back to the forgetful flyer's after they go home with the pin. :) The "Board" is under the sign up roof/ building, protected from the elements. Bill G.

[RCSE] Airtronics dealer
A couple of days back, someone posted an address and phone number for a guy in Texas who deals with Airtronics stuff. Henry something, I think. I called him and chatted, and I would like to do some business with him, but I lost theRCSE message with the name and number. If anyone knows who I am talking about, could you send me an e-mail? Thanks
