Mike,

While I don't do this, those holding an Amateur Radio Technician
Class license fly model aircraft, with the frequencies on the 6 meter
band. At one of the area parks, a group gathers there on a weekly
basis, to fly their planes out by the lake.

I don't get on the air that much locally. The last several
years, I'd be constantly interfered with, even if just passing
routine traffic. There are several clubs in the central Arkansas
area, but for years, there's petty bickering between each other,
especially on "who does the better job during Skywarn Severe
Weather". To me, in an emergency (i.e. a tornado outbreak, and
we've had some of those in the region, such as on Jan. 21, 1999,
with 56 tornadoes, most of those in just 6 hours), you need to
drop all club affiliations, etc., and work toward passing traffic
to aid in disaster recovery.

I'm just 20 miles south of Tampa, and my understanding is that they get a LOT of
lightning strikes. When Del Webb was planning out community, the study showed that it
doesn't generally rain that much here so he called it Sun City Center. He was wrong!

We have a volunteer Emergency Squad, and they can provide us with a 2-way radio for
$15.00 in case of emergencies. That is the closest I will ever get to HAM, although we
do have a Ham Radio club in our community. We are going to purchase the radio soon.
It would be a great thing to have, as well as the battery-operated radio which we
already have.

I can see why you are so into HAM, living where you do. Have you had to use it for
emergencies? I guess the answer would be a resounding YES.

Mike,

Like any other hobby, it can get expensive.

When thinking of the cars, I think of the old wooden Pinewood Derby
cars I built back in Cub Scouts over 50 years ago.

Always thought it would be fun to do, but too many hobbies and not
enough time as it is! :-)

Mike,

Chat about Radio Controlled hobbies, including land, air and water.

One of the deals that ham radio operators can do is fly model aircraft. They're controlled by frequencies in the 6 meter band. But, I think they
have special batteries on board to fly them. I've just seen them done,
but never actually inquired about them.
