SMALL HIGH-ALTITUDE EXPENDABLE BALLOON
LAUNCH AT COMING MASON-DIXON HAMFEST ON
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2010 . . .
Wanna help? We need you!
We need to set up a simple but effective
ground station or two. Got radio? Great!
You are in! Got laptop? Great! You are
in!
There are many jobs to do. Sign-up sheets
are available.
I will be holding a ten-minute planning
session at the next Carroll County Amateur
Radio Club meeting in Westminster, Md., on
Monday night, September 13, complete with a
demo of the three different PICetSat module
types. (Two types of the module have their
433.920 MHz FM telemetry downlink in Morse
Code and the other in Packet Radio.) We
will choose to fly one of them.
