Hi,
Very sad news about JC, many fond memories....but we move on.
I agree with Nick, the time when the event is being held is imporant but another constraint in my opinion should be some separation between the indoor NATS and outdoor NATS, unless they are held at the same (or nearby)location.
Cheers,
Kurt

I like Don's idea of alternating locations. The issue with alternating sites seems to be keeping the sites during the off years. Perhaps we could use contests that are already established to host USIC so for a particular year one site would be the USIC host and then the next year the site would host its normal contest.
The time of year matters. Having USIC the last week of May means that no one can pull their kids out of school right before end of the school year. This affected the junior team last year and has affected others in the past. Perhaps moving the contest to the middle of June would allow for more junior participation.
It would be great to have the contest somewhere people's families would like to go. Its not easy to sell using half a year's worth of vacation time for something only one person wants to do. I know most of the current participants have found ways to do this obviously, but it may help recruit new comers. "Come fly for a few days and take your wife to ..."
Last but not least it needs to be a good site, Cat III or Cat IV with little drift. I don't foresee many people traveling across the country to fly in a mediocre site.
Just my thoughts,
Nick
