Hi All,

I am trying to find some frequency stickers for use on the frequency
control board at our club field. Most of ours have faded out and I
would like to replace them. I was told they were available from the
AMA, but when I called to order them, they said they don't make them
and to try my LHS. When I called the LHS, they don't seem to know what
I am talking about. I have attached a couple of photos for reference.
If anyone could point me in the right direction for a source to buy
more of these stickers, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Easiest solution might be to get a local vinyl shop to create you new
stickers (peel and stick).

Alternate would be to print them out on a sheet of stickers, put it on your
board and give everything a quick coat of polyurethane to seal it all in.

Have you thought about making them up and printing them out from your
computer? You can make some pretty nice ones, have them laminated and you
are in business.

Some samples of transmitter flags may be seen at:

Hi Red,

If I can't find a pre-printed set Ilike I was asking about I was
thinking along the lines on printing my own with the computer. I am a
little concerned about how long ones that I print up on an ink jet
printer will last since these are out in the weather. I know that sun
fading is hard to eleminate altogether, but I would like it to last a
few years at least.

Thanks for the input.

Regards,

Jay B.

Goto a Staples or such on line. You should be able to get what you want
(or you might lower your standards :). Clean the surface very good. Wipe
it down with acetane, apply stickers. Give it 3 coats of clear
poly-something)

If is not vandelized it will propabably be there longer than you :)
