When recently reviewing the AMA rules I did not notice an exception spelled out for 2.4, but common sense seems like the rules around frequency sharing should really only apply to the tradisional frequencies.

That sounds like a good idea.

Of course, you'll need to follow up with some tangible actions: post signs at your flying site and write it into your club's rules.

I've often thought that new clubs with new flying sites should consider using a spread spectrum format only. That sure would simplify things at the flightline. I bet that it won't be too many more years before we see a number of existing clubs voting to go that route too.

Since you are a PA resident, why don't you simply dial into www.amadistrictiii.org and allow the good Mr. B. Brown give you the absolute letter of the law definition?
