Sniffer stuck; launch finished; gates open; all have started (update 4)

Club L-23 climbed to 3,500'.  Karl in KI climbed in 4 kts to 3,500', Wolfgang in RM (new ASW20) climbed to 4,000'.  MSC reporting climbs to 3,500'. 

Launch commencing - just heard a Pawnee and L-19 and Citabria go about 30 secs apart.  Yesterday we launched in 26 mins...

Club gate opened at 1356.  Not a flood through the gate right now...  Tracker shows heights from 1,700 to 3,500'.  We just heard someone flying from MSC might land out (that's our first turnpoint)...

FAI gate opened at 1414.  There is now a flood of fibreglass flowing east.

We've confirmed the tracker is up and running on the internet, in Google earth. Link on the Nats webpage.  They're currently from 2,500 to 3,600'.

One group - large - left together; 3 hung back and have just left.  The cirrus deck appears to be moving in, not out...
