Move the June Rocstock to the second weekend in May (Mother's Day weekend)
and I'll never be able to attend another Rocstock!! :-(

My last posting *unless* something else comes up. Really. Honest.
>1) Should we move ROCstock to October
No
>1a) If so what becomes of ROCtober
Stays as is
>2) Should we have 2 fall over night launches
Yes. But either is okay with me. It's not like I'll boycott (much to
some's dismay!)
>3) should we move June Rocstock to May
Worth a shot
>3A) If so, should we keep some flexibility in for 'special events - I.E.
LDRS NSL
I guess so... why not?
>4) is there a way to speed up the front row including one of the
following;
>L4A) add mini range
I am for this. Far enough away and it will be fine. I am not talking 'just
down the pike'. I am talking 10 minutes walking time away to the south and
east. And a misfire alley to boot... bring your own pads and controllers.
(People can share as well.) Each station has a numbered paddle. ROC
provides flight cards, paddles, a speaker system, RSO and LCO. When you
are ready, you hold up a numbered paddle and the LCO announces your
flight. I believe thats how a misfire alley works. My understanding is
throughput is great. (PS: I am pretty sure there are (or has been) entire
NSLs run this way.)
>4B) Add a front row only RSO - Pad manger (during busy times)
We cant get enough people now.
>4C) add more pads
Just takes longer to cycle through them.
>4D) no more announcing rockets to be launched on the front
Announce who not what. "Mike Kramer's rocket is on pad 1, sky and range
are clear, 3, 2, 1, launch
>4E) don't change anything
I am not saying that at all. 30 ROCStocks in a row and they all have one
thing in common. Longer than they should be lines. (IMNSHO)
>5) Buy Mike Kramer a beer, cold preferably dark
Dank and dark... nice... I'll take a Belgium. Something about 10-12 ABV
>Just putting it out there
JMO
>Mike Kramer
