[MT-ALES] cell signal test for F3X Vault

[Carl A Thuesen]

Ran out to the OLDFARTSS field today to test cell reception for possible F5J contest on May 11 using F3X Vault timing.  Looks like this will be a go.

The signal seemed very good!  I was able to scan several pilot QR scorecard codes using my phone and enter mock scores, which immediately showed up on the Vault contest scoresheet.  

I also used my phone as a hot spot to run the Vault on my computer.  I was successful in entering scores once again.  Also, I was impressed with the speed of response.  Maybe the cell tower has been upgraded since the old days!

Scott came out to visit.  We talked about doing some flying this weekend if the weather cooperates.  Fun flying, bring what you have!  Stay tuned for further info Friday if it looks like a go.  

Also visited about doing some non-contest flying via different launch modes, including winch, true aero tow, aero cradle launch, and hi-start.  Yup, dust off the oldies and bring them out.  

Thermals to all,

Carl
