Oh well, Steve. I knew I was going to take my lumps from Len and

are
greatly exxagerated.......

I just wish I was closer to you, Mike...I'd be tickled to even
help hold the launch lines on a project like that! (Remembering to let
go at an appropriate moment, of course! =) )

Seems pretty exciting to me...

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.


DON'T YOU KNOW THE RULEZ AS POSTED IN HERE?!?!?

Where are they posted?

If you merely hint at doing something in here, you
MUST CARRY OUT THAT ACTION or be forever a target
of negative criticsm of "utter failure" and other
sweet things said by all those others!

Umm, I haven't exactly "not" carried it out yet. There is/was no
specific timetable.

Henceforth, Mike Coslo will be forever labeled with
the title of FAILURE TO REACH THE EDGE OF SPACE BY
HAM RADIO!

You may label me as whatever you like. The differences between my
near-space ballooning project, and your "extra out of the box" are
significant.

One big difference is that I still intend to do the project.

They're not. Len's just being his usual self, not bothering
to be constrained by reality, logic or common sense, let alone
civil behavior.

If that's what you think, Len, where's your Extra?

Umm, I haven't exactly "not" carried it out yet. There is/was no
specific timetable.

It's only been a few months.

Here's a bunch mo

- The balloon project has been declared impossible by Len. Nobody
has declared it impossible for Len to get his Extra out of the box.

- The balloon project involves a lot more than passing a few written
and one code test.

- You have only spent a few months on the balloon project. Len made his
declaration more than 5 years ago. Also, an amateur radio license has
been available to him since childhood (no age limits even back then)
yet he hasn't even gotten a Tech.

- You did not say you were going to reach 100,000 feet, just that you
were going to try. Len said he was going for the Extra but hasn't even
tried yet.

- The balloon project is a group effort. Getting a license isn't.

Lots more differences.

It is kind of an odd thing. Whereas the Balloon project is just put off
for a bit, the Party starts in some 7 months. The ballooning will wait.
Assuming I live long enough, there are years and years to do the project.

Oh, I assume Len will manage to bring it up pretty often....8^)

I'm a little surprised that some folk have fixated on that 100 kilofoot
thing anyhow. That isn't the goal. It is the project integration and the
experiments that are the goal. Lest I be accused of "downgrading the
expectations", there are cases in which 100 kilofoot is exceeded by
several thousand feet. That particular part is governed by when the
balloon breaks.

- The balloon project is a group effort. Getting a license isn't.

Lots more differences.

Oh well, nothing more than I expected.

Gonna be in the QSO party?

Go ahead. I announced it so you could have your chance.

I *toldja* I was gonna ignore it and be nice for once, but no, you just
had to stir it up again. FINE then: I'm back in . .

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.

At least ya got that right . . .

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.

Self-appointed heros tend to die young.

It will be as much work as the balloon project.

.. . . can't wait for the sequals . . bofum.

Wonder how old Steve is? He was wanting Kevorkian for his physician in
another thread.

Must be that Stevie is suing Kevorkian for malpractice.

Kevorkian's procedure didn't work! :-)
