Winch Signals

In the UK there are only about 3 commonly available gliding frequencies, and some gliding clubs are not that far apart. I could well imagine trying to launch a glider on instructions that come from another club! Also winch launching (and speed calls) would tie up a frequency that is often required for other purposes. Our ground operations are managed on a dedicated frequency - I've never heard any other traffic on it. No, I don't know what the frequency is except its almost certainly outside the air band. We have a separate set of handhelds which are locked to this frequency and don't have a frequency display or a channel switch. I have no idea how we got the frequency allocated. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
