(for the insurance, I doubt the landowner is demanding we be AMA just for modeling sake)


Fredster-
Do you think Hitec/JR/Futaba will start lobbying to keep the freqs public, or will they all just choose to instead go out of business if the AMA stoped lobbying the FCC
Chances are, when the AMA was forced to go to bat for us concerning the frequencies, you were not even involved in the hobby. Companies such as Futaba, JR, and HiTech, would not be as we know them today. Had it not been for the lobbying efforts by the AMA, these frequencies would have been assigned to the business community, and we would have been left out in the cold. Some of us remember those days, and if you had someone operating on the Business Band nearby, you flew at your own risk.

Bill, AMA 4720
