SSTV High Altitude Balloon Event in NY June 29

Radar shows the rain clearing, although strong storms predicted for this afternoon.
Looking for updates.

 

FYI, it appears that the MMSSTV live feed is operational and running right now, so hopefully thats a good indication that the launch is going to happen. I haven't seen any evidence of SSTV being decoded yet, though.

 

Nothing new on APRS yet. Still showing: 2019-06-09 19:22:58

 

Hi everyone, ready and waiting here also. Mickey, Glens Falls, NY

 

are you guys hearing it? I just picked up something or someone

 

turning on my station now.

 

Nothing in Gloversville yet. APRS still isn't showing anything.

 

it may have been someone local to me just a 2 second burst.

 

This could be the start of the New York 2 meter SSTV net

 

Bummer. Shut my system down again and will wait for some type of launch confirmation.

 

T+1Hr, nothing to report.

 

Any updates?

 

APRS shows it up in the air.

 

Nothing. No SSTV, no APRS. Livefeed on YouTube is still running, but it appears nobody with the project is monitoring comments (or they are not responding).


EDIT - W8NUD is correct!!!! It's in the air!

 

Well, the altitude changed and the position, but maybe they just turned the APRS on
and are on location. Hasn't updated in a few, so we'll wait and see. It may not actually
be in the air yet.
