Hello all,

This is sort of an update on the near space ballooning project I was

working on.

Despite what we plan on, we are some times steered in other

direction

by events. A number of these events have occurred in the club I am a
member of, and the balloon project has been temporarily slowed by my

new

position as Chairman of the Pennsylvania QSO party.

The PAQSO party is the largest state QSO party, and will take up a

lot

of my time. This means the ballooning project will be on the back

burner

for a year or so.

I'm a bit disappointed that there is a delay, but am plenty excited
about the prospects of running the QSO party.

. . . hmmmmm . . HMMMM . . I was gonna leap all over this one but then
I decided to not respond at all . . .

Go ahead. I announced it so you could have your chance. Just an
announcement if anyone was interested. If I was backing off the project,
I probably would have just kept my yap shut until someone asked. YIMV.

There are only so many people to do things, and with the need arising
in the QSO party, which is of the "show must go on" sort of nature, the
path was pretty clear. It will be as much work as the balloon project.
