Default New Nationwide Squawk Code

code has been assigned to gliders: 1201.

SO, from now on your transponder should be set to squawk 1201 anywhere
in the US (including the Reno airspace, where we have used a different
squawk code by agreement between PASCO and the controllers.)

Please use 1201 squawk code in your glider transponder.

Does this mean that when the engine quits in my 150 I should
immediately change my squawk for 1200 to 1201? H...
