<div style="font-size: small; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; display: inline; ">Hi
all,
<div> </div>
<div>Our PSB-5 balloon launch will be from Bendigo this Saturday, 16 November
2013 at 11am.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The details:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- 434.65MHz USB for telemetry and SSDV images. RTTY 450Hz shift, 300 baud,
8 bit ASCII, no parity, one stop bit.</div>
<div>- HF for telemetry, on 20m, 30m and 40m in alternate time slots. The
protocols are WSPR, JT65 and THOR4.</div>
<div>- Hardware includes a Raspberry Pi computer with Pi-Cam, and 25mW UHF
tracker.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Balloon positions will be uploaded to <a href="http://spacenear.us/tracker">http://spacenear.us/tracker</a></div>
<div>SSDV images will be available at <a href="http://ssdv.habhub.org/">http://ssdv.habhub.org</a>, or on dl-fldigi if you
receive SSDV directly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the day we will have a co-ordinator in #PSB IRC chat room on <a href="http://freenode.net/">freenode.net</a></div>
<div><a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=PSB">http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=PSB</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>To receive balloon data you will need access to SSB HF and UHF
radios.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dl-fldigi can be used to decode THOR4 and RTTY/SSDV.</div>
<div>JT65 and WSPR requires their own softwares</div>
<div><a href="http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html">http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html</a>
and <a href="http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wspr.html">http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wspr.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please see <a href="http://projectspaceballoon.net/">http://projectspaceballoon.net</a> for
details.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Pre-flight test HF transmissions were received from as far as VK6 for JT65
and USA for WSPR. </div>
<div>The reception range for HF transmissions from the balloon should be all
around Australia and NZ when the condition is good.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Assistance with tracking is greatly appreciated. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Andy VK3YT</div>
