All: just got back from there store, noticed that there is a new product on the market - AAA lithiums. Could be an enabling item for those wishing to fly ...
There are AA lithiums too. Good 1.5V replacements for alkalines. I will probably go to these for payload batteries when my Li-ion batteries quit working by...
Be careful on the 3000mAh spec. My experience is that the capacity is largely dependent on the load that it's powering. As I recall, if you read the fine...
http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/lithiuml91l92_appman.pdf I misread the graphs, thinking they were mA instead of mW. So the capacity is more like 2400 mAh with...
After talking with Paul Verhage KD4STH and some others by e-mail, the best of a sub-optimum set of choices is to have GPSL 2005 on July 1-3, 2005, here in...
Hi Mark, Yeah, I'm also disappointed about GPSL '05. There is some small hope that the CU Upward Bound flight can be moved to let us get to Omaha, but summers...

Hi Mike, Maybe this schedule shake-up will let N0PUF join us for a few flights! I'm OK with this plan, but questionable for the Big Blue flight September...
This indeed is good news if EOSS can make the trip east after all! 73 de Mark N9XTN ... From: Mike Manes [mailto:manes@...] Sent: Friday, January 28,...
Below is a draft announcement suitable for sending to club newsletters, etc., regarding this year's GPSL. Please let me know of additions, corrections, or...
Hi Marty, Well, this is what Chris and Suzanne desire, and I'm just asking the gang if there are any impediments to making it happen. So far, so good! And I'm...

I'd like to be able to send this to Nuts and Volts, if that's alright. Since I get paid per page, I'll turn over the monry for the page length of the...
In my opinion it is reasonable for us to consider our hobby worthy of using all capitals: Amateur Radio High Altitude Ballooning I have been using ARHAB (which...
