Hi Mathew & AUS S
Matthew Gage said
And before someone whinges yet again about other potentially "better" systems,
I suggest that if they want this, they put up the cash to pay for them.
Matthew prior to the GP in 2008 I was asked to look into tracking systems for
the GP at a GP 08 meeting at I think it was St George rowers on the river near
the Airport
I gained much knowledge the two satellite systems Iridium and Globalstar (Spot)
and looked into GSM text and GPRS systems.
Iridium is like the mega network the US military use it.
Globalstar is a like Vodafone drop outs no service.
With Globalstar & your Spot lucky if you can get the maximum update at 10
minute intervals.

Iridium can update at 4 second intervals GPS tracker hardware constraint.

After I did all the research and came up with the goods and later we also
tested the goods http://www.tracplus.com/downloads/Geoff.pdf
I was told the GFA and NSW GA had purchased spot trackers (yes you already paid
for them) without even discussing the 100 plus hours of research and phone
calls I made at my cost.
And a tracking website appeared along with it shortly after it.
For a one week you could hire ten Iridium trackers for $1000.00 to $3000.00
less if we gat a sponsor.
Using the knowledge and ideas gained and some willing helpers there are many
that subscribe to this list we could promote glider racing like never before.
It would be possible to build GPS Video iridium trackers to take viewers along
for the ride I even got to the point of speaking with R&D people about the
concept.
Peter Heath was using iridium to track the QLD rescue helicopters and AMSAR
Stuart Ferguson tested the units at the time.
Let me put it this way with Iridium you could have seen Graham break away and
the fleet following and his 13 second lead in real time well 4 seconds short.
They say to many cooks spoil the broth in the case of the tracking one non
flying cook spoils the broth.
Happy not to be the cooks Puppet that's your job Ross the copyright infringer
and cheat.
