Hi Mark Williams,
Thank you for your input.
Where our club ( The Harbor Soaring Society) flies, it is within a Public
Park. We do have a permanent frequency board.
When I got there another person was on my ch (54).
However, this person was at our slope flying area which is about 300 yds
Like I said. The schmuck who took it home the week
before.

The illegal act is when you intentionally destroy property or cause harm

Knowingly doing it, is way different than negligently doing it. If I just
fly on a frequency, there is no intent to cause damage (negligence maybe,
but not criminal).

Man, look at the technology our computer radios have, and they are

I should have never mentioned and frequency control issues on RCSE, that

Dont get your feathers ruffled. All I said was that just because you
choose to fly overpriced, pre-build, moulded ARFS does not give you any
frequency advantage. Yes I would pay for your overpriced mouldy if:
1. I shot it down
2. you were on the frequency board when I started to fly.

Your network is using 802.11b -- WiFi in today's parlance (its what Apple
uses in their AirPort products). Its not going to work too well to control a

I believe that hams the government are the only authorized users of the

Just pull the tx antenna out about 1/3 of it's full length and range test to
