Banning ADS-B in contests???? *We are all trying to increase the safety

guys are talking about banning one of the most promising technologies
out there because someone might use it to cheat in a contest?????

Does anyone have any concept on how absurd this makes us look outside
(even inside) of our small insular world???

Yes, ADS-B is currently banned in US contests.

Yes, the Rules Committee is aware that this
"could be perceived as an issue" and will address
it at their November meeting.

Of course, some may remember that GPS
was banned in USA competitions for two
seasons after I introduced a GPS product
to market, and during that time we did have,
um, incursions...

IIRC "GPS was going to ruin the sport !"...

See ya, Dave
