Oh… and by the way. By signing this petition you are just giving someone you don’t know a list of addresses where expensive helicopters are kept!

well if my expensive heli gets nicked ill know where to look then!!

I think the people who made the petition are grossly misinformed.

The Belgian Institute for Postal services and Telecommunication decided NOT to allow 2.4 Ghz. for RC.

In other words, within Belgium it's NOW officially FORBIDDEN or ILLEGAL to use 2.4 Ghz for RC

Once again... the issue you have in Belgium has nothing to do with RC. It is related to all 2.4GHz communicatios including WiFi.

Go to CISCO website and scroll down to Belgium. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/...0/rm21eucp.htm

Belgium

Outdoor usage is only allowed when operating in the 2.4-GHz band. Outdoor wireless links with a range in excess of 300 meters need to be notified at the Belgian Institute of Postal services and Telecommunications (BIPT). Please check http://www.bipt.be/langue.htm for more details.


Or this one: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/LongDistance

Belgium

Power is limited to 100mw p.i.r.e with the antenna given with your hardware. Your network is limited to 300m.
You have to buy a licence to IBPT if you want more: 850 Euro for a private network (only once) You have to declare to the IBPT what hardware you use. You also have to notice them when you change or add hardware.

@Angelos,

Maybe you're right.

The Belgian Institute of Postal services and Telecommunications (BIPT) did NOT have any official point of view (not ILLEGAL) for RC modellers using 2.4 Ghz BEFORE JULY 2007.

Same story in GEMANY

Other European countries will follow soon

Personally I'm NOT involved (using 35 Mhz) but many many others are or supprized.

Signed!...............

Lets stop all this european crap once and for all, lets nuke them!

nothing but bloody trouble belgium, i'm an electrician by trade and they recently (in the last couple of years) f**ked up our perfectly good wiring colours with new "improved" euro crap, before we had Red/Yellow/Blue for phases, now we have Brown/Black (formally neutral i might add)/Grey. I'm sorry but if your working in an area of reduced lighting it was a damn sight easier to identify r/y/b in a DB than B/BL/G. Nobs!

Ever thought this could be the start of a scam? . . .and you have set yourselves up for a lot of spam by giving your details away?
