[OZAPRS] High altitude ballooning in Oz

[Neil Justusson]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know of a person or group that has flown or tried to fly  
an "amateur radio high altitude balloon" here in Australia? If you  
aren't familiar with it, the idea is to send a weather balloon into  
"near space", altitudes as high as 100,000 feet (30ish KM) with a  
small payload (perhaps a couple of KG) using APRS to track the  
flight.  There is quite a lot of activity in the US (see  
www.arhab.org or  http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/ 
satellites_budget.html?1912006).

I'm quite interested in doing this, but I'd like to leverage any  
experience others in Australia may already have.

Thanks,
Neil Justusson
