[TMRA] Launching a Weather Balloon

[Steve Bellner]

The University of Akron is launching a Weather Balloon Cross-Band 
repeater field day June 25th at 3:30pm.


Uplink 446.100 (Repeater receive) Downlink 147.560 (Repeater transmit)

No pl tone

The balloon takes about one hour to rise to max altitude. 35 minutes to 
descent.

Hopefully we can get a lot of activity on the system. Our first weather 
balloon went 14.23 miles high. People from West Virginia were able to 
hear it full scale.
