Trackers
The UK Club Class are on day 5 today. The website has excellent tracking
using the flarm data. Well worth a visit.

By the time you guys in the US are awake they should be well on their way.

In the UK we are having some success using internet linked ground
stations
to track flarm equipped gliders. The stations which are based upon
Raspberrt Pi with a usb tv receiver (cost about $50) need to be around
20-30k apart.
Might also be good for US contests especially around the start finish.
Take a look at cunimb.fr/live/ at 14:00 gmt today and you will see what I
mean.

Upon arriving to Poland, I was told by the local experts that mobile
tracking was not going to work. In fact, it does work great, even at
altitudes.
The pre-release version of GlideTrack for Android is available at
http://glideport.aero/GlideTrack/index.html
(Will get the release version in the Play Store when I get back.)
More info about GlideTrack including the source code is at
