Default Frequency Pin Board?

I have just moved to a new community that has just aquired a flying site, and we need a frequency pin box. I was wondering if anyone had a good idea, or plans to make one? Thanks for your response!

This one has stood the test of time.. about 20 years.. welded steel pipe, with flip-up flags for the channels..

Ours is a wooden box, about 3 feet tall, two feet wide, and 6 inches deep, with doors on front that can be closed and padlocked. It's mounted on a post under our shed.

Across the inside are rows of slots for AMA cards (the front of each slot is clear lexan) and a wooden dowel runs in front of each row of slots with a clothespin with a tab on one leg that has the channel number on it. There is also a channel number on front of each slot.

The idea is to put your AMA card in the slot and take the pin; this lets everyone see who has what channel, and what channels are open or in use.

My home Field. 2 by 3 foot box. with slots and a wooden channel marker on each one. You take the wooden pin and pin it to your transmitter and place your AMA card in the slot. Also in place is a rack off to the side to place your transmitter.

the most common is a 4x6 to 4x8 piece of plywood on a couple 4x4's pounded into the ground. with an array of little hooks and a set of markers for each channel. The marker can be as simple as a cloths line clip to a stamped steel number that is hooked in a used channel.

I have never seen or used it but for the SALE price looks interesting.
