SGP scheduled to begin first race day today launch 1:15est. Other than the SGP website, not sure where to get current updates.

Amusingly (given all the noise in the not so distant past from a certain someone), the only tracking info available seems to be on via glideport aero & SSA.

best,

Cancelled for Monday, Tuesday's weather looks better.
Tracking: my favorite was whatever they used for the SGP Chile finals, IMO

That'll be a real shame if they go backwards on the tracking front. I enjoyed watching the coverage of the race in Chile.

i thought that the good ol boys had set up an OGN tracking system for the Seniors but I never saw any links to it during that contest. Maybe they left the recievers up for the SGP and 18m Nationals?

Tony, John Good was able to get the base unit up and this was the first time it was to be used. We simply ran out of time to get everything up in time.. As in every endeavor it takes time and money. John and I had to go to the SSA convention to fulfill our professional obligations to our associations.. All the other volunteers were working on their piece of the pie while we were gone. Hope to get system up and operational at the Seniors next year. Don’t think any of the participants had any issues with the contest. I know I didn’t! 😁

For the SGP we are using the same system we had last year. It isn’t the best but we are still able to see the race on the ground here with the SGP.aero website. I’m lucky to be in the air as a participant so I’m not exactly sure of the mechanics. I’ll find out today and let you know.

One thing I loved about last year was the the recap videos Sean did for every race. Great to see the entire race with commentary using SeeYou. Hope the 18 Meter Nationals guys don’t look at those!

Really wish you were here Tony. It was great flying with you last year.

Cheers,
Rich

Thanks Rich I knew John was working on an OGN network for Seminole.

Wish I was there too. Have fun!

Hopefully, the OGN network at Seminole will be up and running soon. One bit of good news is that we now have an operational OGN receiver operating at Moriarty, NM. Even though it is early in the season we have been able to track gliders out as far as 58 KM....
