Lost Hills Road Condition for Fab Feb
There has been bad weather all over the country.  (actually the world)   We will be making some updates on the Lost Hills conditions closer to the date

   LH Storage Spots for sale
From: Paul Crowley

I have two Lost Hills shipping container storage spots for sale. They are #13 and #14 (right next to the door on the right side), in the container that is the second farthest from the road. There are some support items like tools, chairs, tents and sunshades also for sale.
This container is the first one that was installed by Hardy Brodersen and Bob Waterman back in1996 and I am the original owner of the spots.
Interested parties may contact me by email.

Just turned 90 and the trips are getting harder. By the way I built my first Wakefield (now F1B) back in 1953, boy a lot has changed!

AMA and FCC and Foreign Drones

In a Recent AMA Air there was an update on the recent ruling from US Customs about “Foreign Drone Equipment”  There has already been regulations restricting some non-US made drones such as DJI in the interest of National security. There has been a new regulation that is more broad and include some “associated  equipment”. This can include some fairly generic items such as motors and batteries. This equipment can have uses much wider than a “bad” or even good Drone. The AMA Govt relation people are following up on this and seeking clarification. They also may need our help in writing to our reprentatives so US SEN readers should follow the AMA’s activities in this space as it affects all aspects of our hobby/sport.  While beyonds the scope of SEN and probably even AMA I’m a little curious about Hasselblad. DJI bought the well known and very expensive Swedish medium format camera company. They use some of this technology on some upmarket drones. They also sell the Hasselblad cameras.  I wonder if they are now classified as bad foreign drone stuff ? I’ll stick to my Nikon. (foreign but no drones)
