Hello SBARC Members and Friends, Ascend to the occasion for our first 2011 SBARC post-summer meeting by popping in for a very special balloon presentation... Launching Balloons to Near Space by Mark Caviezel – Friday, September 16 at 7:30 PM, 401 North Fairview, Goleta. Description – Amateur Radio Operators are routinely launching balloons to 20 mile altitudes with communication and research electronics onboard. Join us to learn about the success of our recent launches, the technologies involved, future plans and how you can observe or participate. Mark Caviezel, NG0X will lead this presentation with over a decade of experience in amateur and commercial launches. You will be fascinated with what we do and will likely want to see or be involved in our next local launch. This is not rocket science. It yields similar results far more economically, with far less effort and the launches are fun! Venue – Goleta Union Schools Administrative Board Room, 401 N Fairview, Goleta, CA 93117 Ticketing – FREE to members and non-members. Sponsored by the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club, www.sbarc.org.

SBARC meeting this Friday, September 16

SBARC Club Meeting This Friday, September 16, 2011 Join us for our first club meeting since May. After we wrap up our summer vacations, it's always wonderful to rejoin our friends at our first meeting of the fall. We have a wonderful presentation planned for you this month. Mr. Mark Caviezal, NG0X, will be joining us. Mark lives part-time in Denver and part-time in Ventura. Mark is a balloon expert and, at the last minute, actually helped Rod Fritz, WB9KMO, with his recent balloon launch. At that time Mark agreed to put on a balloon presentation for our club that would be very interesting and educational, if not entertaining. At our meeting, Mark will be discussing the recent Santa Barbara flight. He will also give us a brief lecture on balloon platform/technology. He will discuss the capabilities and limitations of latex balloons, small and large zero pressure balloon flights and solar balloons. He will be bringing plenty of photos from flights he has done in the past, both amateur and professional. Time permitting, he will talk about his Strato-X project which is "Two People, Two Days, at 100,000 feet." Does this sound like something you would like to miss? Didn't think so. The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club holds its monthly meetings at the Goleta Union School District, 401 North Fairview Ave., right across the street from the Goleta Library. The doors open at around 6:45pm and the meeting begins at 7:30pm. Please bring those things you would like to place on the Free-to Good-Home Table and be sure to take home your share of all that wonderful 'junque.' Oh, and if you are able, we would really appreciate it if you could bring something nice to put on the dessert table -- cookies, a cake, fruit, -- whatever. Tell your friends. This is going to be a VERY interesting meeting. ____________________________________________________________ 57-Year-Old Mom Looks 25 Mom Reveals $5 Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4e6eef9b1b1813e2ad3st06duc

Time correction - Tune into the HappyCapsule Balloon Launch Today from Oxnard around 9:00am...
by rod＠sbatv.org 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hello SBARC Balloon Trackers, Yesterday's balloon launch was deferred to today. One of Santa Barbara's own, Mike Bales KI6VBK and friends are launching a balloon with Amateur Radio on board Sunday morning (today) at about 9:00am. Surf to <http://www.happycapsule.com> www.happycapsule.com for the latest pre-launch info. At last report, they were planning to launch from somewhere near Oxnard. As things can shift weather-wise, there could be a last-minute launch change, so check the website if there's any question. The easiest way to track the flight is to monitor KD0PFN* on <http://www.aprs.fi> www.aprs.fi. We wish Mike and the HappyCapsule group great success in their launch, flight, tracking and recovery. Up, up and away! See you all at the Hamfest. Rod Fritz, WB9KMO <mailto:rod@sbatv.org> rod(a)sbatv.org
