Since the bereaucrats love so many rules, why not make another and let
Gliders and ballons use PLB's like SPOT since in our sport we often
have support crews that will monitor our progress in any case, making
SPOT a very convenient tool for us and our crews.

Apparently glider pilots are not obliged to carry ELTs.
A cell phone, spot, EPIRB, ADS-B, FLARM are some other options
I have heard about...
