Live video stream from the balloon camera will be shown on: http://www.pi6atv.com/ http://www.ch73.net/ At 7.077Mhz (LSB) a special balloon event ground station will be - active with the callsign PH35BHV. The special callsign is because it will be the 35th ballon fox hunt event. The weather balloon will be launched arround 11:00 UTC (it can also be later).

KKS-1 ?
by Jean-Pierre Godet 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hi my friends, Looks like the 437.385 kHz CW beacon of KISEKI KKS-1 doesn't work any more, last heard here (western Europe) on July 30th, orb. nr. 24250. I tried to listen to the last two orbits, nr 24918 very low and 24919 max. elev. 42 deg. in vain and will try again the next one. Could someone confirm ? Thanks. 73 !

I drove a bucket truck during My last few years at work . Had a wren build a nest in the boom one year . She would hide out during the day while We were on the jobsite and would return in the evenings when We parked the truck . The eggs hatched and all was well . I was amazed they actually survived .
