The Omaha area currently has about 9-12" of snow on the ground, with 6-8" more expected in the next 24 hours and 1-2" more by midweek. The long-range forecast...
The last cheap digital camera, with a rebate, that I got at officemax was no deal. The rebate was never honored as the manufacturer had already gone bankrupt. ...
So far I only have one (possibly a second depending...) people signed up to give presentations at GPSL. If you are interested in presenting, please email me a...
Is there a way to interface these digital cams for use with ATV. ... Harry - KC5TRB - Tulsa Oklahoma Research Balloons http://www.gbronline.com/harrymue/orb ...
There has been a discussion lately on the APRSSIG from some people seeking documentation on SSTV formats, presumably for coming up with a replacement. But the...
I'd like to get a SSTV that the flight computer could control completely. The old VC- H1 is a good camera, but it decides when to transmit and not the lfight...
There is a serial protocol for commanding the VC-H1. I think it's relatively simple. I can't remember if it's documented in the VC-H1 manual or elsewhere. -...
Doing the master side of USB is not easy (i.e.: the side that Windows normally does). With my job, we have looked at how to add a USB device to an embedded...
Hi Zack, Thanks for putting that web site together. EOSS plans to participate at GPSL '04, and hopes to be supporting an Upward Bound class of students...
I was just looking at my VC-H1 and manual this weekend. It mentioned commands that could be sent to it to control it. Seems like it would be pretty simple to...
... I tried the commands. When I sent them, the VC-H1 acted like it was going to record an image, but then stopped. I was given an email contact for the...
Hello folks, Things are still looking good for a Monday launch of HamBONE-04A, the "micro-beacon" package. Weather looks OK with partly cloudy skies, light...
Because the weather next weekend still looks to be rather cold (teens in the morning) and we have a lot of snow cover in western Iowa, I've decided not to...
Still looking like a go... the only foreseeable hitch might be the surface winds, forecast at 10 - 15 mph. There are not many obstacles at the launch site,...
Everything is set for a 2000Z launch of HamBONE's microbeacon flight 04A. With this morning's winds aloft it could land in the Atlantic; depending on the...
Hello all, The HamBONE-04A microbeacon flight was released at 1955Z and is now established in the ascent phase. It is not carrying APRS, so we don't have an...
Well, it also happened to NASA's $400 million rover... Almost 28 minutes into the flight of HamBONE-04A the CW signal disappeared. It had been strong just...
Sorry to hear you lost it. I listened here in Tulsa, but no joy! ... Harry - KC5TRB - Tulsa Oklahoma Research Balloons http://www.gbronline.com/harrymue/orb ...
We may have a chance at going on the 21st. The weather between now and then should lead to a decent amount of snow melt - enough that the back roads should be...
Assuming things continue to go as planned, PT is looking at a launch for next Saturday, 21 February at around 8:30am. The launch will take place at our normal...
Hi Zack, Hmmm .. gonna be a real ballonacy festival! EOSS-74A will be launching at 1500Z (0800 MST) from Windsor CO, and it looks like NSTAR and ORB will be...
... Mark, I'm trying to put a flight together. I originally thought 3/9/04 but at least one member wasn't available then. I'm looking at 3/20/04 as possibly a ...
The weather forecast for the coming weekend is a little iffy. A storm is expected to pass through the region on Friday, with cold and blustery conditions...
We have successfully launched another solar tetroon this morning. It is sending APRS position reports on 144.39 as KC8UCH-11. There are a couple of "firsts"...
Here are my forecasts for this Saturday and Sunday for the four launch sites: NSTAR Sat: Snow ending, clearing skies late morning, sfc winds N 15 mph, 25F, SE...
I can't seem to get GFS predictions to import into Balloon Track and actually work. I just downloaded the latest version of the software, which helped, but...
