MOHAB Mike KD0MEQ and John KE0UIU Flying a TinyTrak at :55 Paul V. will also have a payload on our string. He will email you his timeslot.

Hi all, I'm programming up my TinyTrak3 for GPSL2019. For a balloon, is it better to use regular APRS encoding or Mic-E? In the TinyTrak programming I see that you can select different MIC-E WIDE-X pa

Hi all, Our team is flying Paul V's flight computer for GPSL2019. We need a backup tracker...anyone have a Tinytrak or Opentracker to sell? Thanks, Mike KD0MEQ

My missing balloon has been found! The "secondary recovery team" aka a kind hearted Kansan, called my cell phone earlier in the week asking about the payload. He offered to box it up and mail it, but

As most of you know, our balloon went bonkers and never really did transmit packets reliably. Paul's tracker quit a few minutes after launch, and mine quit somewhere around 17,000'. Unfortunately, tha

Way to go, Paul! What balloon did you use?

If you participated in GPSL2015, could you post your two best photos please? I'm going to make a nice full sized poster for CK Supply as a thank you for their sponsorship. Please include a photo of yo

This might be a pic of the two balloons that came near each other at altitude. This was from my video on the way down. The video caught the balloons for a couple of rotations, but this was the best sc

Paul's KD4STH-7 entanglement video....shortly after launch we became snagged with another payload. Here is a link to the video: KD4STH-7 Entanglement KD4STH-7 Entanglement GPSL2015 shortly after the l

So the last couple of years (this is my 5th GPSL coming up) our team has flown a variety of bits and pieces in an attempt to homebrew our own GPS tracker. Well this year there will be no Arduinos held

Hi All, In preparation for GPSL2014, does anyone have plans for a DIY RDF beacon that they would like to share? With the tracking failure on one the payloads I was helping Paul track last year, I want

Congratulations Bill. I'll be listening from Missouri!

The ROBOMO team (me and my wife) had a great time partnering up with Paul V. once again at a GPSL. We always learn a lot and have a great time. Hopefully next year our club will have a stronger showin

Hi all, I don't know if the word has gotten out, but we are launching tomorrow with Paul V. Our payload, ROBOMO-3, will transmit the callsign KD0MEQ-11 and Paul's will transmit KD4STH-11. We are flyin

Hey guys, Anyone have the link info to order helium? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks, Mike KD0MEQ ROBOMO-2 team

Hi All, We built a Trackuino last night for our ROBOMO-2 payload. Being an electronics/robotics group we decided that it would only be appropriate to build a tracker instead of buying one. We used thi

Hi all, Can someone point us to some information/calculations to help us achieve max altitude for our 2011 GPSL flight? For example, if we have a 3lb payload, how can we calculate what size of balloon

Hi all, One of our ROBOMO members is working on a project unrelated to ballooning, but found what appears to be an easy way to overlay GPS data on top of a NTSC video signal. I know at least one group

Hi all, The ROBOMO team is preparing our payload for the 2011 GPSL. Our first, and so far only, launch was at the 2010 GPSL where we successfully recovered our payload. We are currently looking for a
