50 Mhz channels, what are you using?
This is a curiosity question. If you are a HAM, what 50 Mhz channel are you using?
I interested in knowing if there are channels that are particularly used in regions of the country.
Thanks,
Howard W8HSJ

At the Silent Electric Flyers field: 0, 3, 4, 6, and 8, with two of us on 0. Fortunately, the other guy flies very seldom.

I use 7 in NC. I'm just getting back into the hobby after a several year lay-off. When I quit there was only 1 other guy in my area on the ham band, and he had 3.

Most of the hams in our club have two or three channels available. We have organized ourselves so that our usual channels are all different. We use all 50 MHz channels.

My Microstars will be on 03 and 07...
Dear HSJ:
The PIPE Here (callsign KA1ABG) once more...and when my ol' Balsa USA Swizzle Stick is all repaired from my September solar glare CRASH...in not very much more time...IT will be under MicroStar control once more, and with an FMA Ch.03 RF module doin' the signal duties!
My upcoming PAIR of MicroStar knobby SINGLE STICK radios (the first one went into service back on Sept. 10th of this year) are EACH going to have one 50 MHz AND one 72 MHz radio frequency deck in there...the channels for the first one are on Ch.03 and Ch.47, and the second one will be on Ch.07 and Ch.40.
The MicroStar even has a six meter SYNTHESIZED RF deck available for it from its designer, Gordon Anderson, capable of BOTH AM AND FM signal transmission, and fully usable on ALL the allotted 50 and 53 MHz RC frequencies...and even the frequency you've selected for a particular model gets SAVED in any one of the eight "model memories" the MicroStar is set up to have.
The THREE old ProLine single stick radios I also have are going to be getting MicroStar encoders as well, and each of THOSE are sure looking to have BOTH the MS2K encoder and the synthesized Ham decks used in them, for "future needs"...so, in time, I'll have FIVE knobby MicroStars for all my RC flyin' needs!
But it's Ch.03 and Ch.07 for the 2004 flying season...for my first PAIR of MicroStar radios!
Yours Sincerely,
The PIPE!
