or he could have nipped in and out between Spot transmissions making it
look like he had not been in.

Guys
Spot tracking devices have been installed in the first 5 place
holders in all classes for Day 8, Tuesday 21 January 2009, of the
Australian Multi Class Nationals being held at Benalla, Victoria.
The task is an AAT (Assigned Area Task) for all classes in the comp
The task is:
Benalla
Pleasant Hill - 40 kilometre radius area
Murchison East - 50 kilometre radius area
Corowa - 30 kilometre radius area
Glenrowan -- 2 kilometre radius area
Benalla
Minimum distance is 287 kilometres; Maximum distance is 762
kilometres; Median distance 523 kilometres.
15 Metre and Open Classes have 4.0 hours for the task; 18m and
Standard Classes are 3.5 hours duration.
Launch time is 12:00pm. Class launch sequence is: Open, 15M, 18M
then Standard. Start gates for each class open 20 minutes after last
launch of that class.
The forecast is for a fine day with cu day developing. Temperature
forecast is 34-38C in Benalla. Thermal strengths should be an
average of 6-8knots over the task. Maximum thermals strengths could
reach 10knots. Height forecast is approximately 10,000 feet. Wind is
currently from the west at 5 knots. Temperature is not climbing as
forecast and the temperature is critical for launch and task. B task
will be the same task with less time to be decided on the grid if
necessary.

Gliders are only "seen" on the tracking page as the Spot is turned on
and picked up by the satellite. So you may only see a few gliders
showing up on the tacking page initially, but most are shown by the
time the glider's start gate opens.
Browsers to use are Firefox or Safari. Internet Explorer does not
function well.
Thanks to New South Wales Gliding through the Narromine Club for the
loan of their 10 spot devices.
Thanks also to John Wharington and Scott Penrose for the development
effort for glider tracking.
