This "Threat" can be 100% different from club to club. 90% of the club fields such as ours are so far away from any houses or any thing else, there is no one else who would be Park flying within a couple miles. If you think people are, well go meet them and extend an olive branch. They have the right to use the frequencies as anyone else does. You may as well be a good neighbor vs an old sour pus. But I suspect this threat involves less than 10% of the fields. And yes, many more club members shoot us down than anyone else.

I think that last sentence is probably right on target. However, I also don't consider the PF guys on 72 mHz are as harmless as many would wish. I keep hearing from other sources of problems that have been traced to that type of aircraft. Over the years many different approaches to the problem have been tried, discussed, and considered.
Saying the AMA folks "own" or think they own anything other than another bill for some development in Muncie is just plain acting stupid. By the same token, any AMA type claiming law enforcement privileges belongs on the same funny farm. As for Horrace and his remarks, Mr. Matt precisely described what was being discussed. Having been there and done that to a 30% bird, I hate it and look forward to SS systems.
