Thanks Bill It seems like a lot of work for 50 grams of mylar and pc board but if I could see a photo of it that would be amazing. If the solar panel survived, which is unlikely, it will return to

This bird couldn't have hardly landed in a better place in the southeast US except if it's so obvious and available that someone has already found it. I was also working on the general location this

Bruce....I have the landing site estimated within a mile or less: 33.7961 / -82.4943. My guess is that it may be on the grounds of Lincolnton Elementary School in Lincolnton, GA. I will see if I

Hi It looks like VA5BNC-15 started descending at about 01:00 UTC at a pretty constant rate of about 70 feet per minute.  At this rate it will be on the ground in eastern Georgia by about 06:00

Hi Bill It's a 601235 (6mm x 12mm x 35mm) rated at 220mAh and weighs in at 4 grams.  For my design, that was the sweet spot of weight, size and capacity.  I might have been able to use a slightly

I used the Pro-mini for my first prototype of my Skytracker....What Lipo are you using and how heavy is it? - Bill WB8ELK

Hi Bill For some reason my spam filter is discarding a lot of the messages from the GPSL list. I'll get that figured out. Your absolutely right. I'm running DRA818V and it takes about 1300 ms from

K7HAK-11 is now near Lexington KY....it flew about 40 km NE of Baraboo WI but probably 3 hours after sunset from my estimate so wouldn't have been visible. VA5BNC-15 flew 40 km west of you around

where do you think K7HAK is located Bill? I asked last night for anyones guess and no one had an answer. It may have gone right over me. after sundown so may have been

Hi Bruce, I believe I have your signal spotted OK in the waterfall display along with all the other APRS signals on 144.390. Yours appears to have a large 300 to 500 msec TxD keydown before sending

Almost x marks the spot for our two to QRP right over WKRP in Cincinnati

Nice signal on VA5BNC-15 from 200 miles distance as it flies towards me. Copying it direct on 144.390 MHz and i-Gating it here. I also see K7HAK-11 in the waterfall at 300 miles distance but too weak

Hank N1LTV made me aware of a limitation for the free tier for groups.io. We have a max of 1 Gb of total storage for attachments, photos, and files. At the moment we are using about 330 Mb. The

anyone have a guess where k7hak really is? looks like last up date was almost 30 min ago. it may pass very close to me. The Original

That's what I thought Bill. I think she made a mistake when she responded to me

I've attached one frame from the horizontal camera recording the burst at 98,331 feet. The rest of the images are near infrared images taken during the flight. The near-infrared, healthy foliage shows

Ya, the drive back from my flight was nearly 90 seconds. It would have been shorter but there was a yield sign on the way. ;-)

Oops wring thread. :-(

By the looks of it, Steve's floaer, K7HAK-11, will likely overtake min, VA5BNC-15, some tmie over night. His is flying 2500 metres higher and the wind is about 30 km/h faster up there. Pretty
