<div>Greetings,<div><br></div><div>As you may or may not be aware, I have taken over the duties of Dist 8 rep from Rex. I would like to personally thank Rex for his six years at the helm.</div><div><br></div><div>This years contest scheduled is shaping up nice with Medford back and a new event at Albany. Boise is coming up soon and word is some of the Oregon boys are planning to attend. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Please do me a favor and send me anything you might feel would be fit for print in the KFactor (building projects, set up ideas, etc.). Photos welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>On the business side, the BOD recently conducted a quick meeting to deal with a couple of important issues. The first was addressing the fact that AMA will no longer be paying for our NSRCA rep to attend the FAI meeting. Estimated cost are $2,000. This meeting is held every two years. It<i> was </i>felt the 2013 meeting to be of utmost importance. The board voted to pay for the upcoming meeting experiences as well as budget for the 2015 meeting.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The second issue was telemetry. It seems a few of the newer radio systems have telemetry to monitor receiver battery voltage, but do not have the ability to be turned off. This is an important issue as the current rule pretty much says "no telemetry". A rule change proposal is being submitted to the contest committee and AMA that will basically allow telemetry that does not give a contestant an edge. </div>
<div><br></div><div>On the flying side, in Portland we have had a pretty mild winter and have been able to get out most weekends. Of course, spring just hit, so the monsoons will likely be back in full force. </div><div>
<br>
</div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Pat Harris Dist 8 VP</div>
