Balloon design by NG0X if I read the info right. Telemetry on 30
meters.

Which brings up a question:

What are the regulations for such a transmitter? Over the USA is one
thing, FCC has rules for that, but above international waters and
other countries it's a different game, particularly since there's no
operator aboard. The website says the transmitter will be turned off
over the UK.

Just wondering.

When customs stops the craft at the border, they'll provide further
clarification...
