All,
Seminole Lake has installed several OGN receivers which provide real time tracking for FLARM equipped gliders.

See https://glidertracker.org/#lat=28.404&lon=-81.834&z=15&id= then click settings on the top left, choose the map of choice (I prefer Stammen), choose Select to 24h, choose Track to 5 min (makes a 5 min snail trail), choose units Imperial. Check RX if you want to see stations, check Airspace if you want to see airspace.

Good stuff, did 6XX land out north of the field? I "almost" stuffed a tow plane in a field out there back in the day. Should be some reasonable places to land in a pinch.

Thank you for this link, fun to watch NASCAR on TV, gliding on computer and if I get moved back into my house this week AND get to fly a helicopter on Friday it will be an excellent week.

It's too bad that none of those sources are persistent, even into the afternoon. by the time I go to look in the evening on the west coast, all the data is gone. Pretty much have to watch in real time.

You can also watch on SeeYou Navigator if installed on you phone or tablet. Just enable the OGN view.

Then we could grab the task file, and overlay the task on the OGN map and see the turn points being made by the gliders.

Today's task is on glidertracker.org at this url

https://glidertracker.org/#tsk=https://pastebin.com/raw/5R8B84Kd&lat=27.974&lon=-81.508&z=10&id=

Agree mike there should be a good way to do this.
Coverage to the far south might be so-so

Who is 9A and why is he well west of everyone else? Maybe not a contestant?

9A appears to have flown out of the Zephyrhills airport. Anyone with a FLARM unit will appear on OGN

I believe that is a glider out of Tampa Bay Soaring Society in Zepherhills FL.
Weird because they normally do not operate on Mondays, might be some flight training or who knows.

I've de-mystified the URL a little bit. Same task but I can increment the date so you don't need a random URL each day.

Might want to ask Bob Youngblood "Old Bob the purist" if he'd be interested in putting up a receiver at TCSC in Vero Beach.
Would help with coverage area.

Nice! Well done!
As I work from home it's fun to watch this while I work.

....And why Putin's name at the bottom left corner of the display?

If you click on it, it's an anti-Putin advert. The web site is probably owned / developed by a person who's sympathetic to Ukraine.

Not on my screen. It's not an active link. Maybe it's because I use a
VPN or something with the Brave browser.

No worries; just curious.

I just took a look on GlidePort Aero and for me at least it's still working well.
Looks like a fun day in Central Fla, I wish I was there!

Looks like good racing between J6; 3JS; and 2P...

The dense cluster of lakes around Winter Haven can really kill a good run with sink, if you're not careful.

Yeah... Love those HUGE turn areas. Even I might get around the course.

Mike, we would be glad to install a receiver if it would help those guys do some type of respectable triangle that would get them further than Chalet Suzanne. I know that the conditions have not been very good, but 90% of these guys are flying motorgliders and could easily stretch their legs a bit further and be home to watch the news at 6. I do plan to take a trip up to SLGP probably on Thursday, Eileen wanted to see some of the gliders and I have a beautiful monogramed shirt to give to Rich and a fine bottle of rum for the best purist finisher. Old Bob, The Purist

Bob,
See here for info on installing your own https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dSaOqBtaSNxZhmTQWSyi6TUXkgCTwSp7?usp=sharing
Let me know if you need help or advice. Contact info is in the setup guide.

Who was flying the ASH-26E today? Forgot the ID, but looked like he had a good finish.

Are the days results posted anywhere? I'm probably missing the appropriate link to race results for the day.

Mike, log in on SSA and go to racing and then results, it will give a detailed list of the contestants, the results for the day, you can see each day individually. Old Bob, The Purist
