[RCSE] Non-R/C interference worst on which R/C channels?

 Our family uses several R/C channels.  I have been getting random
glitches on channel 23, none on the others.

At first, I thought I maght have an intermittent electrical problem with
my RX, or ground-banged wiring, or even something with the TX.

But when I took the plane and TX into a metal building and
palpated the combo, so to speak: no glitches.

There are a half-dozen new RF towers on a nearby hilltop.
Who knows what-all they might be used for.  An older Bell
Atlantic microwave relay dish tower (several dishes) has not
caused any problems.

I'm going to buy replacement crystals for my Channel 23
equipment.

Question:  Has there been experience showing some channels
to be relatively free of non-R/C interference, nationwide? Most
problems discussed on RCSE have been due to inadvertent
simultaneous use of the same channel.

Exactly.

A strengthened Futaba switch lever would be a little fatter.

Well, THE Emperor might not park your vallet for you,

Keep your promise, and give us a short synopsis

 1. put a lot of other stuff out of mind.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but you should check with Don

Yeh. It's also quite rewarding to hit yourself in the head
with a hammer, because it feels so good when you stop.
Advantage: You don't have to keep at it for 8 hours.

Well, Tord, You're nearly 50 and I'm nearly 70.

Much of life is as you describe it where
population is dense. Think of it this way: 
If even 1% of the people display  an
in-group annointed, superior attitude,
!000 people will contain10 real assholes.

If you are able, get free.  Live (and fly)
where others just ain't.

Except, that is, for well-worn friends and family.
