Default Experience with Flarm at the Region 11 regional

Having competed at the Hobbs Regional (in conjunction with the 40-odd competitors in the two Nationals classes), I'm now a solid FLARM believer. I'm very appreciative to Williams Soaring for providing the rental option. Every close target warning paid off with either being on-guard, or visually acquiring the nearby glider. It was very essential in the large gaggles in the start cylinders and returning to Hobbs for finishes. Plus one day we had a very prominent cloud street running northeast over Hobbs and the FLARM was quite busy alerting me to traffic running up and down the "freeway".
