If I were him, I'd change freqs.    I'm no expert but as far as I know, all
the approved freqs for USA RC aircraft are up around 72. something megs.....
if he's a ham and getting interference.... why doesn't he just move to
another freq.?.... 50 to 50.1 is in the week signal area of the band and I
wouldn't think he shouldn't be there anyway.

Would be interested in knowing his call.
