Hello SBARC Balloon Trackers,
It’s time for another local balloon launch…
One of Santa Barbara’s own, Mike Bales KI6VBK and friends are launching a balloon with Amateur Radio on board Saturday morning (today) at about 8:30am.
Surf to www.happycapsule.com for the latest pre-launch info. At last report, they were planning to launch from somewhere near Ojai. 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!
Rod Fritz, WB9KMO
