<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>So when I looked at <A
href="http://status.irlp.net/index.php?PSTART=11&nodeid=6214">http://status.irlp.net/index.php?PSTART=11&nodeid=6214</A> then
I assumed you might be using 5RSB and maybe linked to IRLP. It was only a guess.
And yes I note that the IRLP node is currently down. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>But reading the Horus site
again, maybe my original question was a bit of a stretch or a hope, as perhaps
the text on the Horus page was in reference to the balloon repeater...??
:-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>It was only a suggestion
and/or enquiry... </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>Nice work on Project
Horus - I've been interested in what you guys are doing for quite a while.
I'm looking forward to tracking it this Sunday. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>I note on the Project
Horus website that you will be running net control through the VK5RSB
repeater. I think this repeater is/was linked to IRLP 6214. Are you going to
be leaving this repeater in standalone mode this weekend or would you
perhaps be linking it to one of the Adelaide IRLP reflectors so that a few
of us could also link to the Reflector and listen in?? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=2>You guys are doing a
great job - very interesting. Keep up the great work!!

planning high altitude balloon launch forApril 15th with APRS and FM

<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Folks,<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Here is a preliminary heads up, the Project Horus group
in South Australia are planning on launching a balloon during the WIA
Field Days event on Sunday April 15<SUP>th</SUP>. Lift-off is planned for
sometime just after the WIA broadcast (say around 10.30-11.00am
ACST).<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Horus 23 is planned to be a combined FM Voice repeater
and APRS flight – using the new club callsign VK5ARG-11 on APRS. The FM
voice repeater will be a 70cm uplink / 2m downlink crossband system, like
the one we flew on Horus 9. The frequencies for the voice system will be
confirmed and released shortly. (Just checking some intermod/desense stuff
first). The usual 300baud RTTY telemetry payload will also fly (434.650 at
this stage will be the beacon channel).<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Plans at this stage these are still subject to the
weather. With this payload, we will only release the balloon if it is
going to safely land in the Mallee east of Adelaide, so looking from this
far out, it is possible that the mission could be scrubbed. Having
said that, we are quietly confident, and are commencing launch
preparations on the assumption we will get to fly.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When at apogee, at 20-50W 70cm uplink should be able to
access the repeater from up to 800km away from the balloon so contacts
across a large portion of central SE Australia should be possible. The 2m
downlink should be easily audible.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>For more information about Project Horus, check out the
groups website <A href="http://www.projecthorus.org/"
