Submitting flights to the OLC

As for the issue of the G record, I agree that until it's proven that
someone is actually cheating, an "insecure" log should just be flagged
as such, and not denied.

I finally got my old HP-14 flying last summer. I was looking forward to
participating in the OLC this; however, my data logger is an EW Model D. It
doesn't produce a "G" record.

Here in the US I can use the EW Model D for badges up through diamond and,
to the best of my knowledge, all SSA sanctioned contest. It is disheartening
to realize that I have to upgrade to a "secure" system to participate in the
US OLC.

I was looking forward to adding a few points the Seattle Glider Council's
total.

Isn't the object of this contest to get pilots to fly more cross-country?
Aren't these suppose to be "fun flights?" Didn't this all start as an
informal contest? I can see where this is going. Next thing you know, I
will have to install equipment worth half the value of my sailplane to
participate.

Someone please tell me that I have misunderstood this thread.
