Walt's encounters was over IYK, which happens to have a radar right on the airport. I think this provides coverage up the Owens valley toward Bishop.

After passing by I checked my PowerFlarm and found no transponder target.
For powerflarm to see a Mode C or Mode S transponders, the target needs to be interrogated by a ground station or another aircraft.
The powerflarm itself does not interrogate does it?
