Post date May 12, 2023

While this radio was sent to me from Radioddity, I feel it’s important to air the issues I encountered. I did speak with Radioddity over DM and we’re talking about what their design decisions were based on.

A deeper dive on this radio can be found her: https://youtu.be/TrswZJGv9eU with Steve KM9G @temporarilyoffline

Ham Radio Sonde Balloon Launch!

Post author By admin
Post date May 9, 2023

I was recently asked to attend one Mt Carmel High School Radio Club sonde balloon launches. This club launches these repurposed weather sondes about once a month! These young hams could use your help to keep the on average monthly launches occuring and their other ongoing projects. Consider donating to the Mt. Carmel High School Amateur Radio via GoFundMe: GoFundMe! https://www.gofundme.com/f/mt-carmel-high-school-radio-club-high-balloons

Links for the balloon launch info:

Flight info and telemetry: https://amateur.sondehub.org/#!mt=WorldImagery&mz=7&qm=12h&mc=33.77458,-114.92798&f=W6SUN-V2

This is the model of Sonde we most often retrieve from the National Weather Service.

This is the balloon we use. Kaymont gives the school a great educational discount.
