<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I cannot recall ever having
someone shot down at the RRCC. We also have a frequecy board where the flyer
puts his pin with name and frequency he is to use. The pin matches, that is 14
on 14........So from the flight line...with good eyes you can see who is up on
what frequency....except in Lance's case where he puts a pin marked 24 on 14
and then expects everyone else to understand, that since his 24 is on the 14
spot, it must be 14. We do have extra, free pins, so everyone can
comply....Lance just refuses to.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The
embarassing part is the frequency call (yell) out...some are more exuberant
than others...I have actually heard....</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>"25!!!! 25!!!............then someone else......"HUT HUT!"</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Me..I yell...Lance...take your 24 off of
my 14..when you are not flying.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>Cannot reccomend the yelling deal as it is very annoying when you are
practicing.....we have more than one yell mode at the RRCC other favorites
include but are not limited to</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>

1. Are you okay? (question posed to you to see if it is okay for
some guy to take off...usually happens during a K-4-and if you do not
answer it WILL
be repeated until you do answer-otherwise they assume you are about to
crash-Why else would you be upside down?)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif

landing)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>
3. Touch and Go! (a popular event on a Sunday-can be very dangerous-gotta
learn to duck and fly)</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>
4. Explicatives uttered by Tom T. when he is visiting-those I
seem to understand</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>

Gray's club<BR>in Richardson Texas does. They shout out the frequency
they are about to<BR>turn on. May sound kinda silly at first but I am
sure they haven't had many<BR>if any planes shot down because of freq.
conflicts. Not to sure it would be<BR>a good idea shouting out at
