I am making progress on the "Life in the Stratosphere" experiment. I am not sure I am convinced but we have decided "life" might be falling off the balloon. So we don't want to start collecting until

We are thinking about what project we want to take on this winter We have considered streaming video from the balloon. I really liked that idea but no one else did. So now we are thinking about attemp

I am not seeing the model data update today. I'm thinking about a launch Saturday. Larry KJ6PBS

I keep having to ask you questions. Well I appreciate your help anyway. So we are trying to shift over to hydrogen and the local welding supply place wants $500 for a regulator. Yet I see this $93 dol

Mike ... Could I ask you some questions off line about how you streamed the video? Larry KJ6PBS

I called and he assured me it was pure helium. ??? I can't see another explanation why it didn't lift. Anyway after checking the cost of gas and the cost of conversion .... Hydrogen here we come Larry

My payload went up at a slower rate that I had forecasted last time and I know I just got kind of lazy and sloppy. But even with me adding weight to the payload and not accounting for it the helium sh

Yes I am using Ultra Lithium batteries. So I should be good. I used Grabber toe warmers. On the back of the package it says: Designed to function in the low-oxygen environments of boots and socks Bubb

I use a BigRedBee and have been placing a toe warmer between the batteries and the tracker inside a 3 inch styrofoam container. Is the extra heat actually needed? Larry KJ6PBS

Mark ... When I have participated in zoom meetings in the past I have just received a URL which I have clicked on and joined the meeting. Can I expect that his time? Larry KJ6PBS

I had Andy add my call sign last year and tried to use this. It tracked OK but I couldn't see the updated landing location. Andy warned me before I tried to use it again to make sure my call sign had

Does anyone know anything about this or have any experience with it? https://lynqme.com/ Larry KJ6PBS

I am watching the weather and thinking about a launch this weekend. I attempted to get to the subject flight tracker and it did not seem to be available? Larry KJ6PBS

For those of you who have flown an LED, LED's have a field of view and you can't get it too look at the sun all the time. Do you see the turning of the payload in the LED signal? Is it easy to separat

It would be balloon altitude and whether it was descending

I am also interested. I would like it to announce reports aurally when they arrive plus if the balloon is ascending or descending. Could it run on my tablet? Larry KJ6PBS

No I want my tablet to announce a new report delivered via APRS.fi while I am driving. So it needs to run under android. Larry

When I attended GPSL several years ago I got to go chasing with Bruce Coates. He had a set up where the radio output went into his laptop. There was then software which would allow the laptop to verba

I am working on doing a balloon launch this weekend. The wind forecast has made Saturday not a good option but Sunday is looking OK but I am worried about coming down in a jetway. I can't seem to find

So I guess I don't understand the Free Lift column. Does that need to be equal to the weight of the payload? If not, then just set the balloon size and read the ascent rate for 110 Ct Ft of gas? Larry
