Brighton Model World 2007 - 16th-18th February

Post by **BeligerAnt** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 8:59 pm

Another update...

I have received some info from the organisers on frequencies. There are 22 different groups using R/C at Modelworld, so it's looking like a bit of a headache.

We have access to all 27MHz freqs, and all 40MHz freqs except 40.695 and 40.795. It says that users of 2.4GHz must contact the organisers, but I believe the latests Ofcom exemptions mean the Spektrum DX6 can be used without an event licence, so I think this is old information.

We should be far enough away from other groups that we can run any frequency, but we will need to perform supervised tests to check that there is no interference. We must display frequency indicators - hopefully my set of pegs will be OK.

If you are coming to Modelworld, please let me know what frequencies you will be using.

I've got quite a few; 675,895,665 plus a load of 27's so I think we'll be ok. I'm still planning on using a purpose built ant running on 9v at the moment...

My team mate Steve Bracewell will come along on the Sunday if there is still a space. He'll be with me, so no petrol or anything. His robot runs on one of my old 27 sets but I can't remember the freq off hand.

I received a large envelope full of useful info this morning

We are stand #39, situated downstairs in an alcove just off of a very busy corridor. We should get plenty of "passing trade".

I have requested electronic copies of all the documents to forward to everyone that's coming. Expenses must be in by 1pm Saturday, including receipts for hotels etc.

I'm just wondering if this venue is within walking distance from the beach, because thats where the National Express coach drops me off
