I expect no less than 100% of pilots to carry spot. if not, perhaps we need a similar program to the powerflarm rental program, and rent spots to those who do not want to spend $150... Ramy

Good showing for SPOT but a horrible showing for Open class Nationals. How can anyone expect organizers to be successful with such small participation?

Sports nats are in Miflin PA.
