That was imagine, not image.

I image we descended faster than 1,000 fpm. There was a lot of balloon on the load line and the parachute is 5 feet in diameter and pretty porous.

I put you on the wrong side of the road. Sorry.

By the way, Mike's tracker was KD0MEQ-11. If anyone has APRS data from it, could you forward to me? I'd like to start looking at the ascent rate and try modeling the flight. Please feel free to try

I picked up the balloon that Mike and I launched (and Jim also, he had a screamer on the payload string). It landed 1/2 mile southwest of the intersection of US 50 and Essex Heights road. The landing

Jim, what is the rough dimensions of your screamer? I plan to package it up and mail it while I visit my dad.

My missing balloon has been found! The "secondary recovery team" aka a kind hearted Kansan, called my cell phone earlier in the week asking about the payload. He offered to box it up and mail it, but

Anyone that tried to use the s3research flight predictor this morning discovered it failed with an unknown error. This was caused by a change in the GRIB2 file NOAA provides the weather data

Hi Zack What tile set are you using for your maps? I now recall that I didn't pursue using your program because the maps for rural areas in Canada was quite poor, I now see that

You need to advertise more. As you said, it checks most of the boxes. May have to rethink writing another one. Jerry Gable Balloon Flight Prediction tools http://www.s3research.com

It would be balloon altitude and whether it was descending

I think that my Balloon Finder checks most of the boxes... Have you looked at it? https://www.projecttraveler.org/balloon-finder Zack

Hi Jerry One addition feature I would, recommend would be support for agpwpe type interfaces provided by the various sound card modem programs such as AGW Packet Engine, UZ7HO, and Dire Wolf sound

Hi Group! Nick and I have been charged with cleaning out Mike’s EOSS shed. Of interest are the following, most of which will be in my truck at the meeting or at Mama Roma’s (: Make an offer

When you say announce reports, what would be in these reports? It will NOT run on an iPad or android tablet. It should run on a windows tablet. Jerry Gable Balloon Flight Prediction

I am also interested. I would like it to announce reports aurally when they arrive plus if the balloon is ascending or descending. Could it run on my tablet? Larry KJ6PBS

Another tricky part I've found is estimating vertical angles without mechanical assistance. 90 degrees above the horizon isn't "tilt your head back as far as it will go", it's more like "tilt your

Thanks, I'll set up an account.
