Steve Kaluf's employment at AMA was terminated last August. They are currently seeking a new Technical Director per their Now Hiring area but the ad states they wanted applications no later than Sept 28th. Not sure if they have a replacement yet.

Thanks for the 'assurances and guesses!" I would expect the spektrum limit and what happens when the "channels" are occupied was addressed to the AMA's satisfaction. Perhaps asking Steve Kaluf is in order. He's the AMA tech guy.
