I can't see anyone using an Eggfinder for a 30K+ record attempt, for sure the radio won't reach that far, and as has been pointed out it doesn't have on-board memory. That's not what it's for... it's so flyers can put a GPS tracker in their sport rockets to get them back. Any real-time telemetry short of just before apogee is really just a bonus, it may be nice to get a track for the first few seconds of flight but it won't help you get back your rocket. You can't even use it to interpolate the direction that your rocket may be drifting under chute, because thermals and swirling winds don't have much effect on a rocket going 500+ fps.
