Alan Johnston, KU2YHABGab and StratoScience Balloon Launch is currently showing status GREEN for a launch in 50 minutes!
#HABGab 2023 is a special event for the ham radio community in New England.
Attached to a 2000g weather balloon will be suspended three payloads:
- A cross-band FM repeated that hams in the area can use to make contacts
- A repurposed #RS41 #radiosonde for tracking on amateur.sondehub.org
- A live video feed
I’ll be listening with the #W3YP station but it is probably too far away from Philadelphia!
Good luck to the New England Sci-Tech and the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School!
The balloon tracker is now live:
