Trackers at WGC 2014 Leszno

In the UK we are having some success using internet linked ground stations
to track flarm equipped gliders. The stations which are based upon
Raspberrt Pi with a usb tv receiver (cost about $50) need to be around
20-30k apart.

Might also be good for US contests especially around the start finish.

Take a look at cunimb.fr/live/ at 14:00 gmt today and you will see what I
mean.

tracking was not going to work. In fact, it does work great, even at
altitudes.

The UK Club Class are on day 5 today. The website has excellent tracking
using the flarm data. Well worth a visit.

By the time you guys in the US are awake they should be well on their way.
