Default Video on contest safety

I find alarm id / flarm net spreads out the gaggle, and raises my enjoyment of a contest. With only visual, you have to stick right with the gaggle not to lose them. With flarm radar, you can go a few miles off, explore something, try a different cloud, and yet if the chips are down not lose sight of the gaggle. It's also nice to see what others are doing some miles away and how it's working out.
