[NSRCA-discussion] Useless Information

[Fred Huber]

the channel phaze-in started appx 1987.  We got the even numbered (12, 14, 16... 22... 44.... etc) of the new frequencies first.

If I remember correctly, the odd numbered ones were available by 1989.

As of 1991 all use of the old frequencies (such as 72.080... the ones no longer in the list of allowed frequencies) was supposed to end.

  I have a 1981 ?? Futaba 5 ch radio with a 72.240 module and a red/white freq flag (  right colors ??? ). When did we get 50 channels ? When did we go narrow band ? Good memory, huh ?

  The radio is installed in a bat looking tailess alongside a piped OPS Redhead. About 130mph S @ L. I plan to give it to AMA if I ever get to Muncie.

    I did not know these off the top of my head (or any other part thereof):  :-)

    26.995 - brown
    27.045 - red
    27.095 - orange
    27.145 - yellow
    27.195 - green
    27.255 - blue   (shared CB frequency!!!)

    Those frequencies still exist and can be used.  :-O

    More useless trivia: what type of feedback mechanism was used in the old Heathkit servos (NOT a potentiometer).

      OK, now for the next quiz on useless information:  What were the 27 MHz frequencies and what were their respective frequency flag colors? 


      BTW, I had a salami and cheese sandwich yesterday, or was that today?

          There were seven 72 MHz frequencies, as I remember (if I'm wrong, someone will jump in and correct me).

        Part of the useless information that is forever stuck in my memory banks, taking space away from more important things (like what I ate for lunch yesterday).

        Technically, there were just six 72 MHz, and one 75 MHz.

        72.080 brown/white
        72.160 blue/white
        72.240 red/white
        72.320 purple/white
        72.400 orange/white
        72.960 yellow/white
        75.640 green/white

        Some were dedicated to aircraft, while some were shared with surface vehicles (which ones, I don't remember). Scary, huh!!!
