ARLA/CLUSTER: Wireless Institute of Australia lança o radio-balão PS-65 com o indicativo VK9WI

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

A balloon launch for the WIA AGM

*PS-65*, a pico party-type balloon is to take to high altitudes, hopefully
floating over the South Pacific, and include a greeting message to the
Wireless Institute of Australia annual general meeting and conference on
Norfolk Island.

Trackers will hear payload JT9 packets with the message: ‘WIA AGM
VK9WI’, from the balloon PS-65, along with the normal data of its location,
altitude, temperature, and battery condition.

*Andy VK3YT* has prepared the flight and the software payload - the latest
in his series of such pico balloons solar powered balloons that have
encircled the globe.

The greeting message is in response to a request from the WIA, and Andy
VK3YT humbly accepts such a challenge. He explains that the transmission
schedule has the greeting message in the first packet, twice per hour, when
the battery is charged.

Its travel will be tracked on Norfolk Island during the WIA AGM, and by
many other trackers in VK, ZL and worldwide.

Good luck with PS-65 to be launched from Melbourne to mark the WIA AGM,
members’ forum and events on Norfolk Island, May 27, 28, & 29.
