Because, the local mobile digi at the event is hearing
the distant digi all the time and so its receiver is hearing
a very busy channel.  Thus its chance of hearing the
local 1/4W tracker is minimal.

But if it is listening on 144.99 and only the 1/4 watt tracker
is transmitting on 144.99, then the success rate is greatly
higher...

Yes, that would work, but very cumbersome and I doubt 
the original plan included bringing the internet to the field.
