I have received the confirmation
letter from OFTA that they have released more
frequencies for remote control modelling. In addition to the 6
channels in 72MHz band released last year, there are 8 new
channels in the 35MHz band and 4 new channels in the 40MHz band.
In order to use these frequencies, a license from OFTA is
required.
HKRCSS
strongly encourages its members to use legal frequencies.
If you haven't
applied for such a license, please do so as soon as possible.
HKRCSS will pay for the first-year license fee of $80 for you.
Please see detailed information on how to apply for such a
license.

Some of you got the OFTA licenses
for just over a
year now and your licenses have
already renewed on 31 July 2004.
Recently
I have received the renewal notice of
another batch of license which will be
expired by 30 August 2004. The list of
this batch of members (total of
11) is follow:

Since the renewal of OFTA
license every year individually is quite tedious, we are
proposing that the $80 license fee will be incorporated into the
membership fee next year so that the club can automatically
renew the licenses for you in batch to save time and this will
be advantageous for those who are too busy to renew their
licenses. We will propose the change in the coming AGM and if
the resolution is passed the membership fee will be increased to
$230 to cover the license fee cost.
Anyway, for the time being we
will proceed to renew OFTA licenses for these 11
members first.
Best regards
and happy soaring
