Sod field is not a Hi-Power launch field

I wanted to take a moment to clarify something, recently we have been getting contacted by individuals wanting to do certification flights at the sod field we use in Newark Il. I want to be clear that field does not have a waiver for High Power launches due to it location near route 47 and also the nearby farm houses. We do have a High Power field we use in the fall, winter, and early spring out in Waterman Il. Anyone interested in doing High Power launches will have to wait until mid to late October after the crops have been harvested on the farm we use.
