Phoenix Model Flying Club

The Phoenix Model Flying Club flies 2.4Ghz & 35Mhz only on even frequencies (60, 62, 64 etc).

This is a list of frequencies used by the club and how many members use each frequency. The idea of this is to get an even spread of members using each frequency, so alleviating members having to queue up to get a frequency to use.

New Frequencies
The Joint Radio Control Users Committee is pleased to announce that following protracted negotiations with The Radio Communications Agency the 35 MHz band has been extended to 34.945 MHz to 35.305 MHz providing ten extra channels for model flying making thirty six in all.  The current numbering system from 2002  will now range from 55 to 90.
Further information can be obtained from the Office of Communications (ofcom)
 
Other Info
The old frequencies on the 27Mhz band are now rarely used due to interference from Citizen Band radio sets. The 40Mhz band is for the use of surface vehicles i.e. buggies, boats etc. There is also a 459Mhz band but this is used for telemetry transmissions also, although there is only a slight chance of interference. The main objection to using the 459Mhz band is the high price of the equipment and limited availability. The 35Mhz band that the Phoenix Model Flying Club use is for model aircraft only. The 35Mhz band has a 10Khz frequency spacing. All freq bands (27, 35, 40 & 459Mhz) must have a transmitter output of no more than 100mW

A transmitter in use must have an orange pennant inscribed with the channel number attached to the aerial, this not only shows the channel no. used to other flyers but is also a good indicator of wind direction and wind speed for the pilot.
