: I wish FIRST would just find another way to announce or CALL teams for the upcoming matches

Hello All;

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. I've long advocated that FIRST get a low power FM band transmitter (about $125 for a nice one, $250 for a super one) and broadcast their annoucements on a blank spot on the FM dial...

That way team members could stay in touch with who's up even when out in the arena scouting (what teen doesn't have access to a Walkman?), and each team could have a radio at their pit station, so we could all here things without the need for an extremely loud PA system.

Yes, it's legal.

Heck, even real estate agents sometimes use this 'trick' by putting such radios in houses that are for sale.

We're supposed to be technological leaders - let's lead!

Tom Frank
