Default (USA) NTSB issues recommendations to the FAA and the SSA regarding transponder use in gliders

do you really want to be limited to 10K MSL?
Out here the airport elevations are 3-6K MSL, a 10K ceiling doe not give
much breathing room with land out areas few and far between.

Wait until ADS-B, you will be limited to 10K (according to the NPRM) if you
are not ADS-B capable.

Why can't the FAA implement something similar to mode-c veils (or
whatever the technology should be) around certain high risk areas?
Maybe a new "veil" designation for gliders above 10k?
