Yeah, the voice repeater being referred to is the balloon repeater.
Once it gets up to 30km altitude, we get very bad pileups!<br>

Where does it say that? You might be looking at the page for one
of our previous repeater launches.<br>
<br>
IRLP node 6214 is down at the moment.<br>

Project Horus planning high altitude balloon launch

<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
