[HCRA] OK, I need some knowledge to be passed on...

Jim,

I believe that the RC aircraft will be using the following frequency bands, with 
the 72MHz frequencies of primary usage.

The 27MHz band (Aircraft/Car/Boat)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
50 MHz band (Aircraft/Car/Boat) FCC Amateur
license required. 2 and 3 channels not produced
on these freqs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
53 MHz band (Aircraft/Car/Boat) FCC Amateur
license required. 2 and 3 channels not produced
on these freqs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
72 MHz band (Aircraft Only)
75 MHz band (Car/Boat Only)

See http://ultrahot.com/RCfreq/ for detail frequency list.

Well designed RC receivers should be fairly immune to interference from 
transmissions below 30MHz (10M). One exception would be if the ham RCer is 
running on 6M (50MHz) as we plan to have a 100W 6M (50MHz) station active.

Jim, KK1W is likely to have additional comments.

Good Work.

73,
Steve - N1SR
