Carl,
Thanks for the suggestion. Having studied arcs and sparks in gases for forty-five years I understand corona discharge and steps to eliminate the effect. However, we have flown this specific

Hi,
This is Carl WA4ADG. When operating aGeiger counter or any high voltage device in a reduced atmospheric pressurethere is a rang of pressure where the air breaks down and conducts heavily.This

Re: BASE 110
W9YJ-13 was/is on aprs.fi. Reached 100 kft.
We had issues with -12.
Flight is over and everything is retrieved.
Sorry that you missed it.

Christopher,
All details are on arhab.org. I failed to copy them to the list email.
Launch site will be the roof of the Julian Science and Mathematics Center on the DePauw campus in Greencastle,

Re: BASE 109
BASE 109 is almost completed. The payloads have been located, but it is in the treetops about 25 meters (80 feet) above ground level. It will be a fun retrieval.
The flight did end somewhat earlier

Re: BASE 109
For BASE 109, correction on W9YJ-16, the call will be W9YJ-14. That will be the dual APRS and WSPR. Lighters only supports SSID of 15 or below.

Re: Flight Predictions
Yes, I used to use APRSISCE in my chase car, and rely on habhub predictions. Since habhub performance has gotten really laggy, I don't use it anymore. I switched to using chasemapper

Re: Flight Predictions
I developed chasemapper for this exact purpose a *long* time ago now: https://github.com/projecthorus/chasemapper
This is what we use in our chase cars, and it lets us very reliably be at the landing
