There was a mention of a tracking beacon independent of APRS. What is the frequency of that beacon? I am in Macomb, IL around 347 air miles away and would like to try and see if we can pull it in as w

I Wonder Who's?
That is a standard card they put on radiosondes. Had they a photo of the radiosonde info usually the person who releases it puts the location and date on the sonde itself. You no longer need to return

Interesting read but I have a question: From the position of not knowing your setup; what kind of regulator did you use? Was it designed for NH3? If not, do you think it might have been the source of

Flight Predictor Page?
I find this on-line prediction to be somewhat reasonable when it comes to Radiosondes. http://predict.habhub.org/#!/uuid=a2b6cf262e4662d11c3ebd58c603d500bac397fc

Like to track balloons? How about tracking radiosondes!
Most of the sondes launched from Davenport do not fly due south but the ones that do I make an effort if they land in my zone. I use simple tools to track and recover. Over the attempts I have gone ou

APRS
Joe: Go find that MFJ in all of "your stuff" as it will work to decode your payload. Probably will need a copy of Hyperterm or something similar to view the data. Mark

Good thing no one ever caught me. I flew kites as a kid and I had a spool of string that held 600 feet of line. I would get the kite up and let it all out. If I had to go in and have dinner I would wr
