Are the clubbers members of the AMA? Are they choosing to fly with a known freq conflict?
Does anyone really need to ask Muncie what they should do if there is a know conflict of others using a freq near the club.... no, I think we all know Muncie will just point to the
I will not fly with a known freq conflic text.... that means the club will get shutdown by Muncie till an agreement is signed.
Is what the club is doing wrong?
If it is not, lets just tell Muncie about the conflict.... or is the plan to hide what the club is doing from Muncie?
There is no need to hide if it is not wrong
Know what, maybe I should shoot an email off to Muncie about this known conflict.... I mean, unless someone thinks I shouldnt for some reason.
Surely somebody could explain to us all why we shouldnt tell Muncie about a club flying with a known freq conflict.
I won't tell you it shouldn't be done. The club is violating AMA rules they signed up for and putting others at risk that could result in bad
PR for our hobby, and incur liability costs that we all have to pay for. OP has said he has already been shot down by the 'rogues' so they know full well what the risk is.
As has been done in precedent instances, AMA should pull the club's site owner insurance until the situation is resolved.
An Email to Muncie is probably redundant since some EC and staff members do read this forum, and fingering the club not too hard - how many AMA chartered clubs can there be Grand Junction, CO - like one? Wouldn't hurt to put in on the record with an Email from a concerned AMA member though.
