W8UPD High Altitude Balloon Audio recording 6/26/2016


Here is a link on Google Drive to download and listen to Saturday's launch.
Feel free to forward the link around.  Brandon, you may want to download
the .mp3 and repost on W8UPD's website.   Thanks to Brandon, the
University of Akron and Medina club for all their hard work!   I have tried
to include as many people on this email who were able to make contact
through the balloon.  Also, I have forwarded this email to ARNewsline and
Amsat.

Here are the call signs I have recorded, their locations and what time they
are in the audio.
  The farthest contact was KB8GFF in St Clair Shores, MI.   This is at
1:05:06 ("Mobile North of Detroit")  1:07:42 and ("kb8gff
EN....Mobile....") on the recording.  108 miles!  Brandon (Net control) was
not able to copy the entire callsign during the QSO however, but I was able
to pull it out on the recording.
