Subject: [Sbarc-list] Thanks to local hams for help with Anacapa School's Near Space Flight

Some of you may have already received this, so if this is a duplicate message, I apologize.  Below is a summary of the a high altitude balloon project with amateur radio technology that I worked on with my students at Anacapa School this year with support from SBARC members.  Many thanks to Rod, WB9KMO and Cyril, AF6GW and Alex, KJ6FAF for their help getting live Amateur TV working on this probe and for outfitting the SBATV-mobile with a grid dish for a live video downlink.  Also thanks to Bill, W1UUQ and Shaw, AE6BL for making sure that our local APRS system was in tip-top shape for live GPS tracking and weather reports from 111,814 feet over Santa Barbara and Kern Counties!
