RE: Shot Down
Woketman thinks HAM is just for dinner! Where else can you license YOUR frequency for 10 years at a time. BTW 58 is mine everyone so please stop using it...!!!
The truth is that you chances of being shot down go down- Waaaayyy down- So someone knows a guy who knows a guy who got shot down using HAM. ((Wow)) We all know people who've been shot down on 72mhz..
So choose your poison- But don't cry when it kills you.
I am not trying to argue one way or the other because every circumstance WILL be different and no blanket policy will cover it. I am stating that you have options that can reduce your overall risk (is it not worth it)? Must you put your superTOY on the same freq as a hobbico cheepie. Well if you must I will be there waiting with the video cam (as I always do) because the clock is ticken.
What I don't condone is the elitist attitude of -my plane is more expensive therfore I am always right.
