I get the impression your answer to OP's query is no. OK by me, as there are alternatives for a group of guys with their eyes on a site within a 3 mile radius of another club that digs their heels in re 'squatter's rights' to the air and frequency space. All involve exercising their rights as citizens, not constrained by AMA in any way except when/if they join AMA. I presume the only reason they would want to charter a club with AMA is because the property owner requires that the group insure him against liability exposure. So let them charter with The Hartford Model Airplane Insurance Assn, or Farmers, Allstate, etc. No need to expand on that - it has been discussed here ad nauseum. So no problem, let the status quo ride. Status quo is something of a fundamental tenet in AMA, and there's no need to rile the true believers over something as small as this issue.
