Gentlemen, Let us not get crap started. There was a scanner in the impound. There were also VOLENTEER LADIES Doing their best to Keep things organized. This is probably the only time that THESE VOLENTEER LADIES ever touch a transmitter. The major issue came when a couple of flyers were flying transmitters with matching frequency pins,with a different frequency module than was indicated. They know who they are. The other issue that occurred, was that the PILOTS and /or TIMERS, COULD NOT TURN THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT OFF BEFORE TURNING IN TO THE IMPOUND...... Therefore depending on the impound volenteers, most of whom, don't know how to operate the various transmitters. 9/10's of all the labor at the NATS is Volenteer, too many people do not realize this, and feel free to cast stones at an event that has been and is getting better than the way the event was run in the 80's. Somehow your " NOT FLAMING just asking." is gonna segway into another Multiplex Commerical at the expense of some really fine people, and good times had by most at the NATS. You, having not been there, to watch the operation, and not to be involed, should refrain from .............. By the way I lost 2 planes. 8) respectfully Jack Strother -----Original Message----- From: Karlton Spindle Sent: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 19:19:41 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] NATS Question why was there no scanner in the impound at a AMA NATS? I have heard from a few pilots (buying new gear) that they got shot down at the AMA sanctioned event because TXs were not impounded properly and there was no scanner. NOT FLAMING just asking.
