Hi Group! Nick and I have been charged with cleaning out Mike’s EOSS shed. Of interest are the following, most of which will be in my truck at the meeting or at Mama Roma’s (: Make an offer or simply

It sounds like a good idea. Allow Open Maps or Google maps to be preloaded where you think the balloon will go. Have a North Compass on the map (if map rotates), and bearing and distance to the balloo

Great idea adding an elevation calculation. I do it in my head with varying accuracy because it's a great experience for the new to near space to see the balloon at 100,000 feet.

APRS.fi always shows metric units in my cellphone. Is anyone who tracking with a smart phone know how to switch the default to imperial units? Thanks

We uad back in the beginning lke 1990 or so a dos basic program that was fun, you took your location lat long alt, and told it also where the balloon was lat long alt, and it spat out a range, bearing

Paul, The bottom box on the right shows distance to the balloon and the direction indicator in words (like NNE). I wanted to be able to run this on a 1024 x 768 display so I didn't include the bearing

Jerry, I'm with you that the existing programs do only part of the job. I still use APRSPlus, not only due to inertia, but because it has offline maps and the display can be configured to give essenti

Since GPSL I have been thinking about chase software. I haven't found any that does what I think it should. I have looked at http://flighttrack.surfingsatellites.org/ but that is about the only one I

Jerry, Looks like a very cool/useful program. Definitely, continue development. What more? Weather data, perhaps. I can help with beta testing if you need. Cheers, David Fields N4HBO

I'd like it to show a compass rose and range to the balloon. I'd like to see your final product.

For those that may not know, I have a long duration balloon that has been aloft since 9/20/2016! 😊 I actually had a second one, that went to 277+ days. I suppose I should update the record information

Anyone know who is leading this launch and recovery effort. I was planning on going up there to view the eclipse and I thought I would see if they needed any assistance. Thanks, Tony W5ADC

It has been 3 weeks now since the start of the GPSL Great Pico Balloon Race. Only one balloon WB8MSJ-1 is still flying and it has just completed a coast to coast trip across the US when it flew across

For those who can listen on 144.251 MHz USB with Contestia 32/1000 mode, you can copy SP9UOB-10 who is over Idaho and heading SE. He is about 3/4 of the way around the World. - Bill WB8ELK

Tony Rafaat VA6TNY flew his eleventh payload with his Junior High School students yesterday. This flight was a 1600 gram Hwoyee with about a 900 gram payload. Using the CUSF burst calculator and fligh

Joachim, I’ve forwarded this to the best, most knowledgable group anywhere, they should be able to help you. Guys? Keith, WAØTJT Begin forwarded message: From: Joachim Hoffmüller <jh.schule@...> Subje

There are now officially still three balloons in the GPSL Pico Balloon Race on Day 13. My Dad's balloon WB8MSJ-1 just reappeared after being lost for a week over the Pacific south of Baja California.

Wow...what a day for Bev's balloon WB4ELK-4. After 11 days and a several thousand mile trip from Kansas to the Pacific Ocean and back, her balloon flew across northern Alabama this morning all the way

At the end of Day 8 of the GPSL Pico balloon race, Mike KD2EAT-13 has nearly made it back to the launchsite after an 8-day journey to the West Coast and back. At sunset today his balloon was last hear
