It’s time for the Olde Town Middle School Annual Balloon Launch. The balloon had a payload of many science experiments and radio equipment. VHF Voice Beacon and APRS, HF 20 Meter CW, RTTY, and Domino digital modes. Learn more about the firsts that this club has already produced, with plans to break their records this year. Launch the balloon and track it to an unplanned destination. Plus they recover all of the gear and Near Space pictures.

We’ve got some special AmateurLogic.TV announcements too that you won’t want to miss, plus a contest to win a Constructing HF Wire Antennas book that will make some Ham very happy. Contest email address is [email protected]
