<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Several sites formerly used for SA contests
have been lost here in the NE due to noise / neighbor complaints
during contests. I heard that another contest went away due to
liability concerns after a severe injury involving a contestant and his own
airplane, then there's another which very sadly is going away because of
real estate development (PGRC field). There's a lot of history at that
field. Anyway, the noise footprint concern is huge. We had a
request for our club to host a 2nd SA contest this year because of the loss
of so many other sites. We turned it down in part because of the fact
that the noise rules are now ignored, the box boundaries went away and the
sequences are insane, making the noise footprint problem worse than it's
ever been. Even as wide open as we think our contest field is, we've had
complaints and we didn't want to increase the exposure and risk. They
better figure out what is plainly obvious to at least some of us, because
the current profile of the event is fairly obnoxious to alot of
people. The hovering next to the pits also has the club member
volunteers pretty darned annoyed and with them as well as being concerned
with liability, but the attitude by some is that it's their right - to
paraphrase - "it's IMAC, it's what we
do".</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>

<DIV>BTW, I have some history with the PGRC field; I was a member back in 1969
to 1972 and flew at "the Pea Patch" across from Silver Hill, the old Croom
airport and the Bowie flying fields.</DIV>
