Be a little careful and read the OLC rules. Hit the rules tab on the OLC
banner. Only OLC Approved Software or any IGC approved GNSS Logger can be
used for the Onlinecontest. Avoid a little frustration by checking whether
you have, or can get, OLC approved software for the GPS logger you want to
buy.

It can be done very inexpensively, and its a lot of fun to share and
compare your logs with your flying buddies.

There is no question that the OLC generates a lot of motivation and
provides a purpose to get away from circling the home field. These
folks have done a tremendous job.

It provides an opportunity to get more folks flying more often, and
having a purpose or desire to stretch their flights.

My current understanding, the required loggers are in the $750 +
range.

Is anyone aware of lower cost loggers that would allow us to get more
folks involved in this very motivational activity?

This does not involve the top ranking pilots, but the entry fee is
currently a bit high for the casual pilot.
