Very good Piston_Broke! Take a cigar from the top shelf for the background provided.

You are correct in that RHS is not happy with the LAMP proposal particularly aspects relating to requiring VFR to actively participate in the system by utilising the radio which has been fitted at great expense to their aircraft.Apparently there is some other use, other than for communication between aircraft/ATC, for this piece of equipment that the rest of us are too dim to appreciate.

His philosphy appears to be that it is more distracting to use the radio when attempting to look outside. Understandable in his case as I doubt he is able to chew gum and walk at the same time so looking outside and listening would be just plain impossible.

On a serious note anybody who has been around to see the enormous confusion and millions of dollars wasted as a result of Airspace 2000 (MK1 and 2), the Class G demo and the other iterations of Dickspace needs to get involved as there is a definite adgenda being played out. RHS and his boys club on various boards (and AOPA according to their latest mag) are gearing up for another tilt at the airspace windmill. Don't complain later if you don't complain now.
