Flying NEAR any equipment that causes electric ARCING is BAD BAD BAD. Sooner or later a streetlight WILL start to fail. IT RUNS ON A CONTINUOS ...ARCING.... of the gas inside of the bulb. Flourescents are the same problem. Especially when you can see & hear them screwing up.



Other problem with higher frequencies is " Reflected signals " that are close by. Cars, metal siding on any structure at the field.
The " 2.4 GHZ CONDUCTIVITY of the ground you are flying from. Fine with 72 MHZ.

Worst of ALL !! you have a bad unit that has a MOMENTARY crapout, THAT CAN NOT BE TESTED, or found.

Many are are flown. Only a few crash for no reason...........Life is mainly about being very lucky.

At 72 I still have a full family..........
