How about a May Rockstock instead of June?  If we are changing, might as well go all the way.  Better temps, hopefully less wind...

Other than the range set-up, what do you think about the current schedule of June ROCstock, ROCtober, and November ROCstock vs just having two events like June ROCstock and ROCtober?
 
Just considering that ROCtober has only been around for about 4 years and previously, it was just two ROCstocks per year.
 
Thank you for your input on this.

Yes, this topic has come up a couple of times that I know of over the last 5 years.  I haven't been with the club nearly as long as some people.  When the split range is discussed, there's always a concern for safety and I think the people that are against this have a good point; it could be too complicated.
 
Again, how about just running a ROCstock size event in October?  We are not telling the youth groups they can't participate.  In fact, it might be nice to have all the help.

Got a couple of polite emails (thx) and a no-so-polite one. :P tongue

I've been in ROC on and off since 1997. I did not pull the idea of a separate LPR missfire alley out of thin air. ;)
Its in the archives. I've been told:

1) "Who'll staff a low power area?" 
(Mike? <grin>) Oh heck I'd take my turn! :) Maybe even train some scout leaders?

2) "Who'll tell them heads up if a larger rocket is heading their way?" 
(Radio link - air horn? :) ). And a good size buffer zone

3) "Kids WANT the adults to see their rocket. They don't want to be separated from the 'Big Guys'." 
This one I can not solve.
