Folks, as a past Technical Director I can tell you it is a very full-time and essential postion at AMA HQ (when done properly). I don't have the time, nor inclination to go into the details of the job when I was there. However, this person is responsible for the day to day ops of the Competition Dept, records, sanctioning, world championship teams, liason with FCC and attorneys AMA uses for FCC related matters, sound issues, the rule book, educating the membership on emerging technology...the list goes on. I don't know what the current job description is however.
The best advice I can give you is to call HQ or talk to you VP if you have questions. Get the right answers from the right source.

I think this point needs to be emphasized. Every time I've called, I've gotten straight answers, and never made to feel I was wasting their time. In fact, when thanking them for their time(including the time I talked to Mr. Kaluf), the reply has always been "you're welcome, thats what we're here for."
