Default Garmin GPS 20A with Trig TT22 in Experimental Glider - OK?

Thanks Darryl,
I'm still learning all the ins and outs of ADS-B. I remember the AOPA articles requesting the FAA open up the TIS broadcasts to all users.
I thought I had read something that it occurred this fall.

I see where FAA is considering after Jan 2016 to not rebroadcast traffic data on targets that are "non compliant" or NPE. This opens holes in the system after the FAA has allowed experimental aircraft to install equipment that meets specs, but not TSO'd. Will those targets not be retransmitted.

I realize I am flying within a busy Mode C Veil area and will have a lot of aircraft with valid ADS-B Out to trigger the TIS broadcast on UAT and 1090ES.
I did receive TIS data on UAT. From my location over Searchlight, NV. Any "expected" OUT aircraft would have been many thousands feet above and on the 1090ES frequency.

It is now 2016 ( for all practical purposes) and within 2-3 yrs we will need to install WAAS GPS and ADS-B out for the tow plane. Hopefully a reasonably priced single box unit. It would be interesting to see the results of the ANPRM study on transponder or ADSB requirement for gliders. We only have one club glider that has no electrical system with no radio/transponder capability. There are a few privately owned gliders with no transponder.
