Default SPOT Mounting - Parachute

I purchased one of the new SPOT’s (SPOT Satellite Messenger, sometimes
called SPOT II). As a fall-back, I have a few options for mounting it
directly on my ship, but I’d prefer a chute mount. I’ve read Allen
Silvers 2009 file on how NOT to attach it to a parachute, although
that file didn’t seem to say how/where was a good place to attach it.
I will talk to my rigger, but first wanted to check for actual
experience with the latest generation SPOT. I looked in ras for recent
posts on mounting the SPOT, but only found a set of posts in early
2009 and early 2010.
I’d like to check for experience last season with the newer units.
Specifically how well did parachute attachments work (good tracking),
and how/where on the chute was it attached?

Thanks,
- Frank
