Would this work for our "flying into Iowa City" frequency, Jim?

Actually, you guys, I believe 123.3 and 123.5 are reserved for
"school" frequencies. You should be using 122.9, 122.75 or 122.85.
If you are going to "pirate" a radio frequency, please do it
away from the school frequencies. I hear the baggage handlers
at ORD use "123.45" :-)

I thought we were having weekend flight school classes?
"Flying into AirVenture" ground school theory class is on Sunday, with
cross country application flights on Monday.
Classroom portions to be held in both large and small group sessions at
the adjacent Inn.
Ground transportation to and from the airport are free.
Some refreshments provided free.
Lodging available at reasonable rates.
Flight planning weather graphics and text provided free.
Volunteer instructors available, free.
Now, how does this not qualify for flight school frequency usage?

It does not qualify for the frequency because you do not hold
a license to operate on that frequency.

Please look in the AIM for the frequencies and usage.

For example, my gliderport, Owl Canyon Gliderport, operated
by Colorado Soaring Association has a license to operate
on 123.3 and 123.5.

The local flight school does NOT have a license for those
frequencies, and did not stop using them until I encouraged
the FCC to visit with them.

Bingo. And, I doubt the radio police will show up for what is in essence a six
hour event.
