Yes throwing a wrench into our Parker plans as our whole team (Los Campeones members) have been using our club frequency for almost 30 years, and had plans to use it, as always, at Parker.

Confirming what y2kbaja said. This was announced at the Parker 250 riders meeting. Boo IMHO!

And a programming cable, software, PC not a mac..... Sort of a forced stop by Rugged. Hopefully they have programming cables and can walk out to every chase truck to help!

The Los Campeones frequency, 152.960 is already in almost every P C I Race Radio! It is channel number 8 and is automatically programed unless the customer dictates otherwise.
These frequencies are not 'owned'. There are some rules but they are basically the CB channels in 2 meter FM.

The licenses are issued regionally and paid for 10 years at a time. The only racers/team/club that I know of that actually paid for a license was Los Campeones, ours is for the Southern Nevada area. Technically all of us are using the 2meter band illegally. But it is such minimal usage that I really don't think anybody cares.

It's actually very easy to get a license from the FCC and have your own frequency.
For us it Comes in handy for business use during the day around town and especially when 4 wheeling or testing products out in no where land where there is no cellular.

John Lippet used to pay for and handle the license for 152.960 - Los Campeones / Red X Relay. Not many other race frequencies were ever licensed.

Isn't rugged the same company that was directing web traffic to their site with a fake PCI web address a couple years back?

Just to clarify, if someone has an emergency and comes up on the normal 151.490 / BITD Channel 6, All staff will be monitoring it at all times. We are simply trying to relieve some of the radio traffic that is clogging the Keith, our relay operator. So status checks and general chat will attempt to be transitioned to the Rugged channel. Klaus will have to weigh in on which of the channels will be the one that is web broadcasted.

The PR need to be rewritten then. As it reads the new freq will be the only BITD channel
