WB6RER-2 launch today


Rick/K7CNT
 

WB6RER-2 32" Yokohama U4B on 10m was launched at 15:36z this morning from Golden Valley AZ. Was a great zero wind morning and we had pretty much a vertical launch. We are seeing it's location by grid square only. No GPS data yet reporting on QRPLABS/tracking site. Not sure what went wrong with that.
Hualapai Amateur Radio Club effort.

Hi Rick 
I see you are transmitting on 10m but the QRP-Labs tracking map is for 20m to my knowledge.
So it will not show up there on the map.
I see your spots  on 28.126060
Perhaps Pedro can help with a 10m tracking map under presets

My mistake! It needs some intervention if you have used this before.
When the map comes up then you may need to go to "Home" and change the 3rd box RX call to "Everyone"
"Search" then takes you to the table, click on map.

Rick,

Phil says " Be good to know the time slot and tele call details, we could bring it up on the /balloons/ site."

I never read or saw any information that the U4B on 10m would not show up on the QRPLABS tracking site. Did I just miss that bit of information

KO6FE has been tracked reliably on 10 meters at http://lu7aa.org/wspr.asp

Hi Rick

I'll check and if necessary add a warning that tracking only works on 20m. You might be right, it might not be documented. Or if it is, perhaps difficult to find.

I'd also add that full testing on the ground would help uncover stuff like this, any documentation errors, bugs in software etc. So definitely recommend careful ground testing before waving goodbye to the thing.

Click on table for the list.
Note my comment about letting Phil have your flight details then telemetry should be seen.
