Consider starting a NAR section, or at least you may get valuable info.

My only suggestion as I don't know how to start a rocket club is to get as many rocket fields as possible (esp. for hpr) so that you have lots of backups.

Oh yeah, use the yahoo groups to post go-no goes the morning of the launch.

My club uses a yahoo group to do just that and just to comunicate. They are also looking into Ventrilo. This would allow us to have club meetings from our homes and we could call a meeting very suddenly if needed.

Good idea. I'd only add that Google now provides for groups like Yahoo groups, without all the ads.

There's a big high powered rocketry launch somewhere near Tom and Skye. "Quad Cities" something, but it's not really near the Quad Cities, more south east into Illinois from there.

Something to definitely witness!
