For your pleasure and amusement we should be launching 3 flights from Elsworth today.
The first of the launches should take place at roughly 3:30 - or possibly earlier if the Aura flight gets on the ground sooner. What happens when and on what frequency is partly up for grabs - hopefully I will be able to bash out an email and go on IRC before we launch.
The call signs are:
HABLAB
QMULS1
QMMOHSUL
HABLAB is my own flight - the other two are Queen Mary University launches.
3 different antenna technologies will be in use:
QHA (ground pointing)
Patch (horizontal)
1/2 wave dipole (vertical - where the electronics form the 2nd radiating element)
It would be really good to get some comparisons of signal strength & quality.
