At the Newcastle Airshow last Sunday, the Roulettes were doing their thing -
they used 134.6 for air/ground (read: crowd audible) calls, but their
"commentator" (Roulette 5 - the arrogant prick) would not give out the
air/air frequency - unfortunately I didn't have the Scout with me.

Anyone have any idea what they use ?

ARROGANT PRICK!!! I don't blame him for not giving it out to you, he
doesn't want you listening to them or even worse broadcasting during a
display. Besides isn't it part of your job to find the frequency by
scanning?

Ack... enough of this friendly banter and on with the info:

Everytime I've heard the Roulettes, at events such as Avalon
airshows, Formula 1 grand prix, etc... they have used 133.9

cheers...

P.S. For those who havnt heard them, the leader doesnt talk much.
Just "up... 1... 2... 3... smoke on..." and the like.
Rather professional.
As you'd expect.

Hi All,
I'd not long ago seen the Roulettes perform and, for the first time ever that I'd
seen them, they were NOT using 133.9. A search of VHF came up with nothing.
Maybe they were using one of their UHF company freqs?
