Default PowerFlarm at Region 9 Contest

I have a plan. I'll publish my flight schedule and the Flarm users can stay
on the ground! That way only people looking outside will be in the air.

PowerFlarm works best if most gliders use it. Offering not to fly when more
than a few glider are airborne or promising not to climb in the areas of
good lift, while generous offers, strain credulity a bit.

I expect a fair amount of sincere rationalizing between now and broad Flarm
adoption in the US. It's a free country, but I will continue to encourage as
many of my soaring friends to voluntarily adopt Flarm as I can. 100%
adoption at contests is the short-term goal.
