   In the 1970's Cincinnati, Ohio held a yearly Hamfest for OM's Only.   
      
   The one I went to had for its entertainment several (6 or 7?)   
   Radio Controlled Airplane flown by Amateur Radio Operators on Amateur Radio   
   Frequencies.   
      
   It was announced over the Public Address System for everyone to turn OFF   
   their Handi Talkies so the aircraft being flown by the Hams wouldn't get   
   any interference.   
      
   "I think" the frequencies being used to control the planes were in the   
   lower part of the 6M and 2M Ham Bands.   
      
   IIRC after about a half hour or so the flying had to end early because   
   someone accidently keyed their radio and all the airplanes were brought   
   down before a accident or crash happened.   
      
   One of the planes had 'bomb bay' doors on it and Snoppy parachuted out   
   of the plane.  Cursed Red Baron!!!!!!!!!!!!   
      
   I didn't take time to try reading Part 97 to see which Ham Band Segments   
   could be used for Radio Controlling Model Aircraft before I started writing   
   this message, but I'm sure You will find it under a Mode for MCW   
   (Audio Modulated Continuous Wave) A2 ??? or something like that.   
      
   Hope this helps.
