The AMA does not recommend 3 miles.

The Safety Code, which the club agrees to enforce, states in RC rule 5: “I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft within three (3) miles of any preexisting flying site without a frequency-management agreement. A frequency-management agreement may be an allocation of frequencies for each site, a day-use agreement between sites, or testing which determines that no interference exists. A frequency-management agreement may exist between two or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs and individual AMA members, or individual AMA members. Frequency-management agreements, including an interference test report if the agreement indicates no interference exists, will be signed by all parties and copies provided to AMA Headquarters.”

Hi JR-

What if.......
Non-AMA members are using one of the sites? No provision in SC rule 5 for that.
Since no frequency-management agreement may exist in that case, it appears the AMA club must abide by the 3 mile limit.
