Wow! The high altitude weather balloon 🎈 launched by my friends in San Diego has an incredible number of ground stations receiving it!

Attached to a 2000g weather balloon will be suspended three payloads:
- A cross-band FM repeated that hams in the area can use to make contacts
- A repurposed #RS41 #radiosonde for tracking on amateur.sondehub.org
- A live video feed
I’ll be listening with the #W3YP station but it is probably too far away from Philadelphia!
Good luck to the New England Sci-Tech and the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School!
