Just wanted to say hi to every and start the list discussion. First thing we should get a handle on is what sort of payloads are available that people want to fly. I'll start off......... NSTAR can

I need to know if presenters will have written notes for me to publish. So far no presenter has given me notice. I'd like to make a copy of every presenter's notes available to attendees. I'll

Packet, ATV, and Repeaters, Oh My! It looks like we're going to have more transmissions coming out of Manhattan on 6 July than NSA HQ. To prevent near space capsules from stepping on each other,

Because of the number of balloon launching from GPSL and possible interference with local repeaters, I've started to put together a frequency plan. The list is posted in the files section. I will

Paul, Not sure if you saw my message from last week, but I already started the frequency list. It is posted in the Files sections. If you want Mark to track the frequencies, let me know and I'll

I saw your file. I didn't realize I was assigning a task already started. If yopu don't mind, I'd like to forward that to Mark. We'll add one more item to the list. We need to find out who can

I can keep track of the various modes, frequencies, etc. I've gotten some input from Mike KD0FW off-list for his payload(s). I looked at KD7LMO's inputs in the files area. I had previously

One o more item needs to be added to the frequency coordination form. Please add if you can change frequencies and how easy. This won't be a problem for APRS, as we'll use the same frequency.

I've made the requested changes to the file and changed the name to reflect only the ANSR payloads. The file is in the Files section of the Yahoo group page. From

Are you sending up a tracker or are you getting a lift from someone? As far as the tracker, are you slotting your packets? And also at what times? Thanks, Paul

I will tracking mine the hard way using direction findingequipment like we used in the early 1990's for now. I had a offer from ka0jlf todo APRS but that will depend on the total weight of thepayload.

Paul, A less than timely response. My intent is to use our records listing as the backbone of my discussion paper. I will add my comments to each category and encourage attendees to contribute

I like the idea. I assume recovery crews here would send a series of DTMF tones to terminate the flight? One concern is the altitude of the flight. 30-40k feet will keep the balloon in the

All: It's been an idea of mine to launch a zero-pressure balloon from here in Denver, and float it low (30-40k feet probably) from here to Manhattan KS, about 500 miles east of here. I keep

The main thing that hits me about your idea is, the altitude you are talking is right in the jetways. I don't think you would get clearance for a flight plan like that. I think you would be better

The discussion of Mean Zonal Winds (MZW) at http://users.crosspaths.net/~wallio/MZW.html helps us start planning toward a long distance mission (but lets plan toward more than 703.02 miles to give us
