Default SPOT tracking for 2009 contests?

Mike is referring to my flight, but being the moron that I am, I had
the SPOT on my chest strap where its satellite exposure was much more
limited than it should have been, and I spent a lot more time
thermaling in the last two hours than the first two.

I'll be doing an experiment early next week with a cross-country
drive, with the SPOT positioned to have a good view of the sky, and
see what kind of tracking success rate is achieved.
