[OZAPRS] Project Horus High Altitude Balloon Launches: Sunday May 27th (Multiple)

[Matthew Cook]

Hi Michael,

Nice to hear that you were out taking a listen, a real pity that you left
your cable at home.   I'm amazed you could hear it when you did, must have
been some troppo or ducting about you were certainly under the horizon that
is for sure.

Glad that you did make it into the logs.  I remember Alex getting in and
you were a little later... well done :)

Was a good weekend that was for sure.  Keep your eye's on the Project
 Horus blog when the videos and logs get posted.

73's
