You guys are all giving more reasons why an AMA type organization IS important - to voice the stance of (RC) modellers so we don't lose the frequencies. Or if reallocation is required, we are not forgotten. I agree the Ham operators are probably more numerous than us. But we don't want to have our little part of the spectrum given away!

Everyone can go join UMA, and save their $10 per year or whatever over AMA. But then, will UMA pick up the slack in pursuing frequency issues with the FCC? Or having to deal with the security issues (model weights, autopilots, etc) that seem to be brewing in the background? Or keep you informed by sending you a magazine that shows several facets of the hobby?

(Oh, and supply you with a source for insurance...)
