JJ,

Actually the med-evac was about 5 miles behind me and 3-5k lower. He
was not a factor.

The reason I raised the issue was mine was not the first time I have
seen TRACON do interesting things to gliders. Back in September I was
about 50 miles NE of SLC when TRACON came on 123.3 and called for the
glider NE of SLC. I responded with position and they said it wasn't me
they were trying to contact. It was a glider out of Morgan that was
above the class B within about 10 miles of his home airport with a
Transponder letting down for landing after we had been out at 17K
running some cloud streets. They wanted him to leave the area because
they didn't like where he was. So in that case the Transponder gave
them position and altitude and they were going to get him out of their
area rather than work around him.

So not sure that transponders are the total solution, there has to be a
working relationship where each side understands the goals and needs of
the other. Not just that TRACON gets all the airspace and everyone
else should leave.
