   I don't know just what the present status of the Class C frequencies
are, but they are definitely available for digital communication.  I
don't know if this is limited to remote control applications or not,
but it might be possible to consider a packet radio installation as
a remote control device (hook it up to a BSR X-10, etc... :-)).
