ELT replacement advice?

XCSoar, Oudie and likely other soaring software offer methods to Bluetooth position to an app on your phone which sends packets to a tracking website. Cell coverage is often pretty good a few thousand feet up, even over areas where there is no coverage on the ground. At our club private owner flights go to Livetrack24. Position reports go out every 30 seconds or so. Watching the Benalla Worlds on Livetrack24, the update rate when working is great but cell phone coverage is pretty poor in places. Anything you install needs to be properly placed. Carbon cockpits are not friendly to radio signals from below. Jim
