[TMRA] Field day balloon

[Zachary Burns]

The BG group shared the following...

Special Field Day Activity:

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.
