CQ Oshkosh, CQ Oshkosh
My aircraft radio doesn't go that high!

My radio does! However when you key up on 34-94 all you hear is
squeal from 50 repeaters at the same time. :-( 146.52 works VERY well into a 10,000 ft high antenna with 1db coax loss.

wrote in message ... My radio does!

Just far too congested. Simplex is the way to go in the air. |

This brings up a question I hadn't thought of.
Are there FCC/FAA rules regrarding operation HAM radios from experimental aircraft. Thanks |

Only FAR 91.3 and 91.21. Other than that, the FCC could give a rat's hiney less
where the radio is so long as the operator has the appropriate class of amateur license for the mode being used. Jim John Mireley shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -This brings up a question I hadn't thought of. -Are there FCC/FAA rules regrarding operation -HAM radios from experimental aircraft. - -Thanks Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres.
