A quick repeater report: the only one that I could hit from the Herington Airport was the Junction City 146.880 that was with less than 50W mobile, but I did have my pre-amp on - but I'm not sure I

Paul, I will plan to be there. Just a note, the "truck and gas" was gasoline for the truck - not the helium. ;-) Don pverhage1960 wrote:

Paul, maybe this needs to go to other lists too. I know Bob and I were planning on being there but he doesn't get this list. I'm not sure who else might be in the same situation. That sounds good to

What time do we plan to be at the airport Saturday to prep for launch? I think I told Harold about an hour later than Paul mentioned yesterday. Thanks, Don

I'll try to get to the airport by 5:00 AM on Saturday. WE need to get the balloons filled as early as possbile to reduce the chances of trying to launch in high winds. Can we start filling before

What time is the dinner Friday night? And what timewill the launch be on Saturday?

The 00Z run is pretty consistent with this morning's Eta run. The balloon will head north about 5 miles, back to the south about 3 mi, then head west about 5-12 miles (depending on burst). I've

Hi Ralph, My seat of the pants prediction based on glancing at the slide of the wind data...made at 6:57 July 5th from the KSU Library. 14.1 miles at 315 degrees....for all payloads. I really
