Saturday April 24 CISS Flying Canceled due to Weather

After discussing the weather conditions with Josh Daisey and Bob Currie it has been decided that there will be no flying at the field tomorrow, Saturday the 24th.

Hopefully Sunday may be better but it isn't looking to promising.

Will someone with access to the blog post this there also?

Transonders

SSA learned today that the FAA has published directions to US ATC facilities to utilize a nationally assigned transponder code for VFR use in gliders. The 1201 code is available for immediate use by sailplanes and motor gliders who wish to be radar identified as traffic, without being in contact with ATC for flight for more information see SSA website.
