[K3PZN-List] Fw: [QRP-L] QRP ARCI sponsors iHAB-2 Launch

[Curt Milton]

FYI - some other enthusists are launching payloads into near-space ... these 
guys are using an HF beacon.  I think they had at least one prior launch - if it 
was the group that tried to send a payload across the Atlantic?  I sense they 
need a larger battery!  (If some big guns got into this stuff, it would be a 
real hazzard if it fell from the sky ... I have too much imagination at times).
