 Feedback to RC members is welcomed and encouraged. 
 
6.6.4 Reception of aircraft tracking data from any ground source is prohibited.  
 
I wonder if the word "aircraft" would be better if it was worded as "glider" and or "Flarm". 
I ask because I thought that part of the ADSB/PCAS or similar system collected transponder information and rebroadcast it from ground stations. [I may very well be wrong on this, and would welcome any correction]. 
 
I think this rule was intended to refer to Flarm ground stations but it may be too widely written and risk confusing pilots by suggesting a standard PCAS/ADSB or transponder system may be technically violating this rule.
