[OZAPRS] Horus 23 Balloon Flight - WIll go ahead today

[VK6BMW]

Well done. Looks like fun, I have been following the track for about an hour.
Did you get the two landing paddocks especially ploughed for the event ( guess the Google sat image is out of date Hi ).
Seemed to be a lot of gaps in the data from the vehicles ?? 1970 dates, no speed and incorrect height ? Is this all a matter of calibration or a data corruption problem due to congestion ?
Balloon must have been flying VFR  it seemed to follow the road for you.

Congratulations

  Hi everyone,



  A quick update – Horus 23 should lift off sometime around 11am ACST this morning. Predictions have the flight lasting 2.5hrs and flying 80km down range in an easterly direction from Mt Barker. We hope to hit at least 30km altitude so the radio horizon should reach Melbourne.



  The repeater frequencies are:



  438.900 MHz Uplink with 123Hz CTCSS (FM)

  144.650 MHz downlink (FM)



  Net control is VK5ARG.



  APRS will fly as VK5ARG-11 on 145.175 – via WIDE2-1



  300baud RTTY telemetry will fly on 434.075 +/- 5kHz



  Chase teams will be VK5VKI, VK5ZM and VK5ZSN.



  Regards,

  Grant VK5GR (part of the VK5ZM team)
