Narrative:
On jul/xa/01, the new far 105 went into effect. One of the changes concerned radio communications. We contacted our local FSDO to obtain new frequencys. However, none were provided. Therefore, we continue to operate as we always have done (ie, contact FSS). Another check at FSDO gave the same result, ie, we were told to conduct our skydiving operation as always. However, subsequently, another FAA inspector told us we had to change our procedure. Weeks later, we still don't have our new frequencys and procedures, so we continue to operate under the old far. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that his question has been answered by the FAA issuing a letter of understanding regarding communications procedures to be used by parachute jumping in the hdh airport area. These procedures are similar to those that had been used by the operators.
