DISPLAYING FREQUENCIES
When I was a youngster I went with my father to the RC club field in Massachusetts quite often. I remember RC flyers would take a ‘frequency stick’ painted the colors of their radio frequency and hang it on a post so that other flyers would see what frequency they were flying on. The colors on the stick (usually a flat painter’s stick, used for mixing paint) would match a colored flag or flags on their transmitter’s antenna. My question is: How does one know what colors represent their frequency? Or do they not represent frequencies with colors anymore and just use the frequency number? Is there anyone out there who has heard of this system? I know different clubs must have different procedures for displaying frequencies, so if frequencies are still displayed or represented by colors at some fields how do I find out my frequency colors? Or are you going to tell me to just forget that old system and just present my number tag at the field? By-the-way my frequency is 44
