Frequency Notice
As most people now know, another group of flyers has "landed" near to us. We have agreed with them that they
will fly exclusively on 2.4GHz.
The first group are still with us, and therefore: until further notice, DO NOT operate any transmitter
at Buscotts Lodge on the following frequencies:
35 MHz, channels 55, 56, 57, 58, 59
This applies whether or not those frequencies are
alight on the pegboard.
55 to 58 have been assigned to the breakaway Kettering flyers.
59 will be a barrier frequency not used by
either NMAC or Kettering.
All remaining channel numbers are available to NMAC members.
