Gee, Angelo, the *serious* techheads put autopilots in their aircraft so
that if it becomes clear that the freqs are jamming, they return and do
a flaps-down landing on the emergency runway using the two VORs you set
up at the start of the event.

You guys *do* set up VORs for your field at the events, right?
