Hi All,
I want to thank you all for your support during this project, it added such a fun element to know that there were a bunch of folks following the live APRS data as the balloon flew. A special thank you to Rod, Swiss and Mark Caviezel who were critical in making this a successful mission!
I posted some photos to the web site: http://www.happycapsule.com/blog/ from the onboard camera.
Thanks again everyone!
Greg

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
