Had a great time with W9YJ-11 balloon launch. Thanks to who ever posted the info on the Amsat BB. I am the station in Fond du Lac, WI. EN53ss that made several contacts through the balloon repeater after it got above 50,000 ft. When it got to about 98,000 ft. at its peak, I had my Sat. antenna

I also caught the DePaul University HALO-II launch this morning (July 20) from Kankakee, IL due to the APRS beacon on board .. when I saw the Icon on my TM-D710 (somebody thank WB4APR for the thousandth time for this jewel). No announcement seen, this balloon appears to have NO X-band repeater

I listened for the W9JY-11 balloon on APRS, and for the 446.025 crossband repeater, and heard nothing... did it actually go up yesterday? George, KA3HSW - Original Message - From: Greg Beat gregory.b...@comcast.net To: Gould Smith gould...@bellsouth.net; amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent:
