"OMG, it must be 72MHz and has to be upgraded to 2.4GHz."
And this bullcrap coming from an AMA Leader-Admin, IP Instructor, Contest Director. NO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE UPGRADED to 2.4GHz. It's possible it has to be upgraded to 72MHz Narrow-band but that's a different story. 72MHz Narrow-band is still legal. Some clubs are trying to say it isn't so they don't have to keep around the frequency flags.
