Tom,
Do you reserve any frequencies for tugs?

No, we didn't last fall and didn't have an freq. conflicts with the tugs....there was a conflict between two sailplane flyers but they worked together and things flowed smoothly. Maybe down the road when we get over 20-25 pilots to attend we will have to set aside freq's for tugs.........are you planning to attend and bring a tug? If so what Freq. are you on?

No, no tug just wouldn'y want to show up and have my sailplane (Flair K8) on the same freq as tugs. Yes would like to attend, glad to see you are having a Spring aerotow.
