SPOT tracking at Perry

Mark Hawkins has made a number of upgrades to the SPOT tracking
program used at the Seniors contest, and it will be at Perry to
provide real-time tracking of SPOT-equipped gliders. If you have
already registered your SPOT with Mark, then you are all set. If not,
then you can do so by setting up a 'shared page' on the SPOT site and
sending the link to (remove the
), or I can do it for you at Perry.

I plan to do the same thing at all the contests I fly this season,
including both the 15m and Sport Class Nationals. If you would like
additional information, drop me an email at .

As an interesting sidelight, Mark's magic tracking app will be used
for real-time SPOT tracking at a national paragliding championship
being held near Williams, CA. Apparently SPOT liked his app enough to
recommend it to the paragliding folks when they inquired about real-
time aggregate tracking possibilities. Rumor has it that SPOT is
lending enough trackers to the event so that each of the 30-40 pilots
will have one.

Frank, Can those of us who are not going to be at Perry also be able to
watch the action? If so would you tell us how to do so.
Thanks,
John
