Got wet socks when searching for this radiosonde, (T4820741) eventually found it! It has been long time since last search. Sondehunting just a nice reason to go out to breath some forest air.

The remains of a Weather balloon- with its transmitter still attached. Been seeing a few of these washing in over the summer months 🤔

🚀🛰️ Oh joy, another app that promises to turn your grandma's attic into NASA's mission control. Because we all know amateur radio enthusiasts have nothing better to do than decode weather balloons and listen to TETRA voices like they're the newest Netflix series. 📡💾

SkyRoof: New Ham Satellite Tracking and SDR Receiver Software

Recently VE3NEA has released a new Windows program called 'SkyRoof'. SkyRoof is both a satellite tracking and SDR receiver program. It supports the RTL-SDR as well as Airspy and SDRplay devices. The software is designed for tracking and receiving ham radio satellites, and it can provide detailed information about all ham satellites, tracking them in real time, and provide pass prediction. It also shows a skymap and SDR waterfall display. The receiver software supports demodulation of SSB/CW/FM, and it automatically compensates for doppler. It can also interface with antenna rotators that support hamlib. Over on YouTube Johnson's Techworld has also

As the HF propagation is so crappy, I went to search for old radiosondes. Found one, which had been on the ground for year. It was quite degraded, birds must have borrowed the styrofoam.

To my surprising the PCB was 100% intact, like a new one. Not a single dot of corrosion. Balloon how ever was turned into this paper like very brittle material.

Serial V4550014.

Weather Balloon Captures Airliner Whizzing Underneath It at 500 MPH

From this angle, the airliner's speed is immense.

My son recently launched a #WeatherBalloon with a #camera and some instruments. This #photo is from about 30km up just before the #balloon burst. It's really cool that you can begin to see the curvature of the #Earth from this height and see the darkness of #space. I was on an airliner in this area on the same day and saw some of the same clouds and frozen rivers & lakes my son captured in his photos.
