On a (hopefully) final note ...
In the immediacy of the moments surrounding the actual balloon launch, flight and recovery, I failed to thank at least two SBARC hams who provided very early inspiration to the Anacapa near space crew. Mike, K6QD and Dave, K6HWN mentored the students as part of the Technician Classes held at the Red Cross. As a result of their leadership and commitment to the hobby and the club two of my students, Alex, KJ6UGF and Genn, KJ6UGH are now hams. Alex has even upgraded to General since then!
Thanks again for the support. This project has been an incredible journey for all of us who have been involved.
