Hello, This is an amateur balloon launch announcement that may interest North European amateur radio operators. The Finnish balloon project Ilmari will (finally) launch a balloon on August 11th, 2007, at approximately 06 UTC from Padasjoki (latitude N61° 21', longitude E025° 03', Maidenhead square KP21MI). How did it go? Roland |

It went quite nicely, upto about 31 km in height and even the payload was retrieved successfully 8 minutes after touchdown. The biggest problem were people who used way too much power to access the transponder, you could've worked it with less than one watt and 1/4 2m vertical just fine. There's some pictures and text available about this flight in English at http://wiki.ham.fi/Ilmari-2007a and http://ham.zmailer.org/oh2mqk/ilmari/2007a/ Tapio |
