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 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 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
