Lost Contact With Balloon, Looking For Listeners.

Ditto
Please keep posting. I'm interested.

 

From W7DKR, Orem Utah.

I also have heard activity on freq but could not hear CW and only have Digi Pan so can' give you any better info.
I did try and down load tracking but was no go.
This is very cool and I will keep listening, and good luck on finding it.

We are working on "EarthBreeze III" so anyone interested in joining in on the fun, drop me line. As you know you do not have to be local to join in.

Hey Joe,
Ignore the meanies. They can't help themselves. Mom locked them in a closet or something.

Been listening to 10.145 since last night.

 

anybody know if the balloon was located? the website given make it look like its home.

 

Is it possible to put in more test equipment, like radiation meter and or sonic ear tuned to insect sounds that we cant hear with human ears ? or even sub audible sounds up there ? or earth sounds we may not know about yet.
just daydreaming. 73's oh hand warmers for radio heat.

 

WB9SBD, Forget the naysayers they seem to come out of the woodwork whenever.

I have a question about heat, could a small pilot light sized alcohol lamp be used to add heat that size flame is close to a 60 watt bulb in heat output.

On the heat topic (Hot Air Ballon) Charcoal Fuel in metal tube lit at the top.

Do you and/or your ballon group have access to a Vacuum Chamber to test equipment in?

I know that you are trying in the 30 meter band but at that altitude VHF (think Tiny Trak) might have a footprint as big as the ISS.

Good Luck, I hope to catch a signal at my QTH.

 

Been listening on 10.145 +/- since yesterday heard some warbling sound every minute or so.

That is I guess another "Meanie" and the owners of the tracking system are not happy. That guy took the sample data from the web page and made a telemetry posting making it look like a valid position.

Another nice example of the people we have in this hobby now.

 

Always open for new Ideas, drop me a note to get on the list,

Hand warmers have been dicussed earlier in this thread. most need oxygen, (none there) but another type was found that might work.

Joe

 

Do we know who it was?

 

Thanks and we hope to hear it soon also.

 

According to the bogus report it is KB9TEN

 

Perhaps Rob would like to explain how he thought his deception would benefit the hobby. I'd sure like to hear his thinking, having
once studied abnormal psych at one time.
