Take I-70 East to I-270 South to I-71 South to Exit 97 (about 3 miles south of I-270).

We would love to have you but I know it is a long drive.

Columbus, Ohio now has casinos!!!!!

 I'm working on buying a trailor.
 If I get one I can bring a group.
 I feel the need to have the Northern D5 and D4 support each other's contests better this summer. We've a contest up here.
 Thanks Ron hopefully we can make the trek. Mike

I would normally like to keep 2 weeks between contests but the following weekend is Fathers Day Weekend and the weekend after that is either open or taken by Mike Darr's Contest in Detroit.

Maybe we should have all contests in Muncie.

I don't mind driving to muncie every 2 weeks or so

They had an IMAC contest 10-15 yrs ago, who can remember, where the neighbor on the corner got pissed off and started shooting his shotgun at our 40% planes.  Didn't hit squat, but it was funny!

I should have less commitments this summer (bittersweet) and will be happy to help fill the void. It was really nice (for me) having a contest in Hebron - a real treat to be within an hour of a contest - so the Columbus contest is exicting to me. I am down for hitting up contests in Indiana and on the route toward Chicago.

Status: offline 		Hello guys!
I just wanted to verify that camping is allowed at the field? I won't be at Weak Signals this year. My boys have their last soccer game. But Columbus as long as camping is allowed I'll be there.
Also, I'll be flying my Venus with the gasser and it's just a tad louder than your electrics. So... I'm wondering if the guy with the shot gun still lives close by.

So, I would not rely on it for the contest.

I will have my Honda 2000 available for those who don't have a generator.
