Also, how big is your club?
- Less than 50 members?
- 50 to 100 members?
- More than 100 members?
Thanks for your help.
We are having many discussions about this in our club.

I believe what Brian was trying to say is this " The club uses a frequency board and slots for the members AMA card for 72 MHZ and a board with slots for 2.4GHZ" The reason this is done so the Safety Officer can keep track of who has their AMA card with them and who doesn't". The 72MHZ flyers can keep track of which frequency is used most on the field so if they want to purchase a new radio on 72MHZ, they have an idea of which frequency is open. I belong to one of the clubs the Brian belongs to and a lot of the club members don't go to other clubs fly-in so they won't buy 2.4GHZ radios. The club I belong to has 35 members. We use four flight stations and only allow four planes in the air at one time. Most of the members allow others time to get in as many flights as they would like. It's a very lay back atmosphere.......
