If anyone is available this morning and interested in capturing some data from a high altitude balloon on 70cm.?
I believe Sasha is 15 and I'm sure he'd appreciate any data he can get.
Dave N2OA
Hi All,
I'll be launching a HAB tomorrow at roughly 9:49AM from Toronto. You can follow along on sondehub (), or help receive the data. The transmitter should be very strong. Data is around 434MHz. Take a look at this page to find decoding info:?
If anyone is interested, chase cars are also gladly accepted!
73,
Sasha

Re: Bandpass Filters for Field Day
In the 60's, as a? novice, I built band pass filters in metal coffee cans back when they had metal lids.? I had?one for each band. TVI was a big deal back then.? Completely?unnecessary?as I lived in rural?America.? Maybe a future club project.? Would require finding a substitute for the metal coffee cans.? hi hi? Joe

If so, send me an email, let me know what band bandpass filter you have, and maker/model number if possible (unless homebrew).

Re: Bandpass Filters for Field Day
Joe,
Looking for a way to reduce
interference between Field Day transmitters.? A bandpass filter
can reduce the effect of a nearby different transmitter on a
different band.? So each filter is tuned to allow signals in and
out that are in that band.
We have talked about it for years, but
never really did much about it, other than live with it.? So I got
the suggestion again and thought I would ask before doing anything
else.
A low pass probably nulls everything
above 30 MHz, so not exactly what we are looking for.
You can see more info here:

Thanks.? The links work (including photos) if I login to the
members area first.? I was trying to login to Wordpress.

Thanks all for the feedback.? I was
able to reproduce some of the problems, but only on a smart
phone.? Everything seemed to work on my PC.? I believe I fixed
some of the issues by disabling a couple of WordPress
"plugins".? These are software add-ons to provide additional or
specific functions.? Not 100% sure if their removal will lead to
new issues, but haven't seen any so far.
The photos do not seem to be working
on a smart phone.? Photo Galleries have been an issue as the
functionality was not built-in to WordPress originally, so
multiple plugins were developed over the years, and I have tried
several of them.? I think I need to start from scratch, which
may unfortunately take some time to organize all the photos
again, but it probably should be cleaned up.
Logging in to the Members section is
still the same (use xarc#337).? Logging into the website or
Wordpress is unnecessary unless you want to contribute or
comment.
If you are still having problems in
something besides photos, send me an email with description of
issue, what device you are using, and what browser.
