These are just a few events that I know for certain will be 2.4 only next year. From what I have seen at these events I would plan on seeing more events making this move in the future. I talked to Frank Tiano about it and he said he simply can't afford to pay an impound crew to babysit only a few radios on 72. It's easier for him to simply make his events 2.4 only

My crystal ball says that eventually we will probably lose the 72 Mhz band completely (please, I am not trying to start a discussion here about this issue. Simply stating my beliefs). When that happens those that didn't make the switch may find themselves having to buy a lot of receivers at once in order to keep flying. IMHO it's easier to start now and make the switch over a little bit at a time. For those just starting out, I recommend going 2.4 and don't even worry about the 72 mhz radios.
