Suggestion regarding recon obs threads

#1 Postby Mac » Sat Aug 26, 2006 12:27 am

I recall last season when recon data was being posted I would often see the poster list the recon data, and then an explanation of what it means right under it...like so...

[data set]

100 kt flt lvl...80 kt at surface. SE quad. Now heading to NE quad.

And so on and so forth throughout the flight. It really made it a lot easier to understand the data...for those of us who don't have our own Little Orphan Annie decoder rings.

Might it be possible to go back to that kind of system for posting recon data???

Damn...sleep...I knew I forgot to do something today. Okay. Off to bed. Back tomorrow. I'll be dreaming of the secret decoder ring I'm asking Santa for this year. :cheesy:
