    "You've taken a decision not to publish your coverage and send out someone else istead of you this year!" a jolly codger from Roznov pod Radhostem phoned me yesterday and nothing really remains but to admit that it sounds true. And it seems to me that even this year's race changes nothing, unfortunately. The traditional competition ought to start the day after tomorrow but it's cancelled.

    In contrast to the last year Slovaks didn't succeed in negotiating the departure from the TMA rule which means a ceiling in a height of 1600 meters above sea level in the area around Stranik for every pilot. It's really hard to compete under these conditions and what is more, some pilots would shrewdly use the GPS units which tracklogs don't include any altitude. No coverage will start. I'm sorry, dear codger!
