[OZAPRS] VK2HAB 25/05/16

[Matthew Cook]

Norm,

Yes 100,000ft for a HAB is not uncommon.  See if you can find an online
radio horizon calculator and punch in 100,000ft. Take the position of the
balloon when you received the posit and draw a circle around it from the
horizon calculator.  I'm fairly certain you'll find Bambil tanks is within
this circle.

We regularly have VK3 stations receive our HAB telemetry with the balloon
25kms or more in to the stratosphere.  Height is might !

73
