Yes let us know when you’ll be down here Paul. We are happy to help with your flight.

That's quite good. Congrats. I am planning to launch from near the bay area over Labor Day weekend.

This was the payload that stayed on the ground at GPSL 2018. It was very hazy in CA yesterday due to the fires, so the images are not that great. We did attain our highest burst so far, 110,194

Hey, I've misplaced the address for the Texas group. I have your HT packed up and ready to go I just need to know the address. But I'll be darned if I can find that email. Thanks

If you're interested in programming or custom development, I have the ArduinoTrack available. It's an Arduino "Shield" that provides GPS, temperature, and pressure sensors, along with a transmitter

I think wveryone will like the title picture for my first flight at GPSL. It's at, http://nearsys.com/arhab/flightdata/2018/h/index.htm Especially Jerry.

I've uploaded a two minute clip to my YouTube channel of a balloon burst at 95,900 feet. This carry recorded a sign with Mr. Potato Head, NearSys, and GPSL 2018 logo. Here's the link,

GPSL 2016: My intention was to be able to help a team in need in case they had a tree magnet payload or other issue to overcome. I had loaded my truck with everything but a canoe, and

Hi Jason, I always recommend the Trace unit from FindMeSpot. It is well worth the price and works from ground level directly to orbiting satellites. It won't give you a good track during flight

If your using a Raspberry Pi why not consider the Raspberry Pi Pi-In-The-Sky APRS variant: https://store.uputronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=52

What about using a PICAXE or BASIC Stamp to teach programming? They use BASIC which is an easier programming language to learn.

Our Civil Air Patrol unit in Oklahoma is trying to organize a high altitude balloon launch for its cadets. We are trying to accomplish the following goals for the equipment: 1. APRS position

The trail was restricted to small ATVs and motorcycles. Large gate at the top and barriers at the bottom.

That looks like it could have been a fun adventure... it's not often that one can say that they trekked up to the headwaters of Whangdoodle Creek to recover their Near-Space payload. It looks like

Attached is a photo from the adjacent ridge near lick creek road. Kirkham trail is visible below the ridge, the payload was over the ridge.

EOSS recovered our payloads at N 44 05.72 W 115 30.21, altitude approximately 5800ft. Hands on the payload was at 1910 hours. Once we realized we had a slow ascent rate,we drove up highway 21 to

One of the main issues in GPSL 2016 (and perhaps this year too) were extensive RF holes. In 2016 our balloon landed in an area with no repeater or cell service. We had good RF tracking of the

I think the main thing we didn't do is assign people to chase a specific balloon. Or at least a "lead" person for each balloon to coordinate the activity around that balloon.

better wording: Could you please elaborate just a little on your experience in 2016? What specifically were the main things that didn't work and why? This will inform future hosts and organizers
