Why hasn't the SSA struck a deal with Dr Jack regarding running this
service for its members? I don't know about the rest of you but I
check Dr Jack's site about 5 - 10 times more frequently than
www.ssa.org. I pretty much check it every day that looks soarable
here in Pennsylvania just for fun - even when flying is out of the
question for me that day. I think the SSA is missing a great
opportunity to service its members.

Maybe this service will be part of the redesigned SSA web site? And
maybe the SSA dues increase last year was part of covering Dr Jack's
well deserved royalty stream

I'm a newbie to the sport. I'm a member of SSA because my club
requires membership. I enjoy the magazine.

The website is pretty stale. I look at the classifieds and at contest
results when someone I know is competing. Personally, I think the
website leaves a lot to be desired. I anxiously await the new site.

BLIPMAPS are worth more to me than what I know that I get from SSA. I
phrase it that way because I believe I get more from SSA than I'm
aware of.

The soaring community needs to support Dr. Jack. It would be best if
that support came through the SSA. Again, I'm new to all of this. I'm
still trying to figure out if I believe the BLIPMAPS. I'd estimate
that I look at BLIPMAPS at least 20 times for every time I look at
SSA.

FWIW
