Hi all,

I,m planning to launch this Saturday from Elsworth at around 11.00 ish... My first launch this year ... I'm testing out a modified NTX2 which is now set at 434.475

Call sign is MONDO-1

I've set the shift at 500 and hopefully should drop off to around 425 ish as the cold sets in..

Listeners welcome

Many thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,
Just to say that my plans have changed and I will be at strips launching one or two balloons tomorrow - one for Temco Ltd - one for myself.  I expect to be there form about 10:00am to 12:00pm.

I have put the notices up on the website and included your number as a contact.

Cheers

Steve

That'll teach me to reply to a UKHAS posting.

Hi all...

Just wanted to say thank you to all that help track my flight yesterday and a BIG thank you to those that manually adjusted and uploaded the bad data... thanks for that much appreciated..

That will teach me for rushing, it was all a last minute thing and wanted to launch before my permit runs out... my first launch of the year.... I'd realised I had problems with coding early Saturday morning before leaving home but decided to go with it anyway..

The flight was really aimed at testing out an NTX2 which had been set to 434.475 and from what I could see while tracking it all looked really good but any comments from other trackers/listeners are welcome.... cheers.

The payload was tracked right down to the ground and located quickly but as luck would have it the payload landed at the top of the tallest tree in the world, absolutely no way of recovering... bummer.

Thanks again

Michael ( Bello Mondo )
