As of 2150 CDT, 2006.06.03 of 38 OLC entries posted for the day, 20 were
rejected, 18 were accepted.

What's the point?

Explanations and guidance from OLC continue to be incomplete and
unclear, as they were last year. OLC could have used the time to improve
the system, but instead they used it to create more complication. I can
not imagine that participation will continue to skyrocket in future
under these conditions.

I will not spend 1000+ dollars to buy and install an "approved" logger,
just to play with the OLC. My handheld Garmin GPSMAP 76S was good enough
last year, and quite appropriate for a retired 1-26 owner on a budget,
but this year not.

A new form of elitism finds a niche in soaring -- just what we need.
