Hey NC Nearspace folks,

I am a member of the Orange County Radio Amateurs club, and I organize a group within that club called "Ham Pi" that focuses on the intersection of radio and microcontrollers/single board computers. Several folks in the group are interested in space stuff and would like to learn more about transmitter/APRS receiver construction for high altitude balloons.

Would anyone be willing to talk about your homebrew LoRa transmitters and other uses of Pi's for HAB? We meet on the 4th Saturday of the month from 1:30-3:30 pm.

Thanks for your consideration,

Aurora

Hey Aurora! I hope you and yours are doing well.

Sure, sign me up. I can talk about Pi-in-the-Sky and other such spiffy things.

I'd be game to chat about the around the world project I did with my son 2 yrs ago. We made 5 laps with an APRS/WSPR setup. Basically nothing more than standing on the shoulders of giants. Not much invention, just good copying.

Paul is the LORA expert. If Paul talks, I will be there.

Great! It sounds like Apr. 23 works, so lets plan on that at 1:30 pm. I will generate a google calendar invite with the Zoom link.

Thanks so much for being willing to do this!!!
