Handy that ELTs not required in gliders, but do have a PLB.

Note that replacement battery had sat on shelf; so much less than standard 5 year life Did get partial refund.

Lesson: Buy new unit next time around or send to manufacturer for replacement.

PLB goes in pocket in case I have to use chute.

Livetrack24 and similar services leave breadcrumb track provided cellular coverage available - might not work in Oz outback.
