John, if you would like, give me an area that you normally fly in and I

will see about building a cup file that would house the approach fixes in

the surrounding areas you fly. I have never done it before but I think I

can pull it off if you wish to try. Contact me via email

at canav8 at cox dot net and I will try to help. Doug

During the 2011 15 Nationals in Logan UT I contacted ATC in SLC each day after we had the task defined. I would send them an email with the task area and then follow up with a telephone call. They would put a NOTAM out each day with the broad task area and to watch out for glider traffic.

The day we sent the fleet to the Teton's by Jackson Hole I contacted the tower there. They do not have a radar at Jackson and rely on SLC but they do verbally let pilots, coming to and departing from, know of the situation of gliders in the area.

Takes some digging to find the right folks to speak with. BTW a big kudo to Mark Keene for assisting with the initial discussions with ATC, nice to have a commercial pilot speak the speak with ATC.
