Jay, I'm shocked -- TOTALLY SHOCKED -- that you would even MENTION such a
brazen affront to our aviation band. I mean, that would mean that we would
have to leave our FRS radios home, our 2m ham radios home, our CB radios
home ... just THINK of the havoc that would wreak upon the suppliers of
batteries, the sellers of radios, the little children homeless because of
this totally

wonderful

idea.


And yes, I've considered it, against the multiple federal licenses I hold
that are my day to day bread and butter.

Now, if someone ELSE were to propose it, and search a particular frequency
for (non)use, certainly somebody could adopt my code name of weirdjim and be
on that frequency.

But you understand, it isn't me. It can't be me. Nosir, I'd never do that.

122.575 you say?

Jim





Alternatively, however -- and you understand that I would never recommend
this, of course -- but a far more reliable form of communication at
Oshkosh (and one that is guaranteed to be used only by pilots) would be to
designate a totally off-the-wall frequency on your aviation hand-held
radio. Say, 122.575, or something similar.

I certainly have no personal knowledge of such things, but I've heard that
these radios offer a 100% reliable form of communication at OSH, with
excellent range to boot.
