FREQUENCIES LIST

[thevon]

EDIT: Guys I've copied and pasted Steve's most updated list to this post at the top, for ready reference. Plus a couple of latest changes too.

This thread is a good reference to get an idea of whether you're likely to clash with the frequencies of other flyers.

IMPORTANT!!! You MUST always check whether anyone's on your frequency before you turn on your radio anywhere. Go and ask each flier whether your frequency is being used. Have a look to see if anyone's flying further along the slope and go and ask them too. This means at Shorncliffe that you have to check whether anyone's flying at the other end of the slope ... and go and ask them too, before you switch on.

Failing to do so can result in "shooting down" someone else's plane. At best case you might have a cranky flier to deal with. Worst case you might kill someone. Remember, you mightn't be too worried aboutr your own foamie but the one you shoot down could cost thousands.

Can I just say that my main channel is 36.550. I mostly only use 36.310 as a power radio so it would only very occasionally get to the slope.

It's a great idea to run this list too

[portfox]

Should i build a search function for these, a separate link for windsock that you can add, search for a freq!
Let me know!

[portfox]

One other thought, anyone have a freq board for bigger days at flying sites???

I had to have a cross freq accident.

[windsock]

That would be cool, a frequency board is a very good idea. It's a must for Mt Mee as there are more people enjoying the location. I've been forced out of the sky twice at Maleny. It makes it hard when your checking your freq and everyone is spread out and with the breeze it's sometimes hard to hear.

Last flying day at Mt Mee we had about 8 planes, it's only a matter of time if unchecked that we have some issues. We could have a simple chalk board or white clip board that we could write on - what do you think?

Another thing to think about, with more people flying at high speeds/dives at Mt Mee, we should consider how to avoid hitting each other during the fast passes. Something that worked well last time is that people would call out e.g. 'doing a fast pass from the left'. This gave people from the right the ability to time their passes. I've seen some really hard hits - thank god for EPP.

I used them in comps down south, its a small board sort of like a spine. You can buy or make small the cards to go into it. The board simple has all the 36Mhz and AM channels on it. If your card is in the slot with the freq, then no one else can use it.
I dont mind making one, they are real easy to do. I'll see if i can find an image of one on the net.

Found one, not like the ones i used back in the early days, but each flyer has a small card that hangs on the pins, that way you know who using the freq. www.rc-airplane-world.com/image-files/72mhz-pegboard.gif

[ding]

Can I be added for 36.310. It's my good radio, so is unlikely to get to SC but I would take it to the mountains

[portfox]

I'm onto the frequency list, www.silvertone.com.au/maa.htm

I'll start on a freq board.

Hi All, Just thought I'd refresh this post as we are getting some new members flying and if they wish to add there freq's to this list so no one clash's.
Most of us know that we can all fly together without getting hit.
Just so everyone knows I am still on 36.290

Cheers Alan

[jase]

i use 36.450

[mangy]

I use 36.290 as well, so i'll need to watch for Alan, what do you fly alan so I can see when your in the area?

[livefibre]

I was there the other afternoon when you and Gerad were at SC I checked youre radio to see what you were on, I used to clash with Gerad when I first started flying,Till I bought more crystals, we have all been able to fly over their knowing we won't clash with each other without having to check FREQ's from the point to Cabbage Tree Creek before we fly

Cheeers Alan

[mike]

And I am on 36.330-Mike (flies Shorncliffe, Woody Pt)

[rossco]

Hey,
36.410 Rossco (Rossco) Main*and only* (Flies Shorncliffe only sofar)

Ive not me Pat yet (i dont think)... mmm, it is a good idea to have this list!

A basic frequency board would be a good idea. It could be very simple, even a roster to "log on" to, scrap book style.
I only know SC, which it is applicable, although maybe some of the other sites(?), im wondering if it would be good practice to check in to one main list before you fly at either end? There could be major confusion if there was a clash from the other end? both planes could be skyed again before it was realised what went wrong!

Maybe this is over the top, because as stated already, there are generaly regulars there, and you know that they opperate on something different to you, even if you dont remember exactly what it is.

[Mattt]
