Aha! #radiosonde #autorx station caught a balloon all the way up in Bakersfield! I'm curious if that is due to some kind of ducting or if it was just in the right place. #hamradio #sdr #airspy

#NWS are making extra launches all day to day. The longer the day goes on, the further north the #radiosonde are drifting.
Going to be a crazy weekend.
Hope everyone can stay safe and dry and weather this thing safely.

#Airspy has significantly more capability than an RTL-SDR! #sdr #hamradio #radiosonde

Seeing a flurry of #radiosonde launches just now as the launch window for #SpaceX #Starlink is about 20 minutes out.
If it all goes as planed shortly, should be quite the show for a lot of folks.

Oooh, SNR ratio seems to be indicating my #auto_rx #radiosonde station is performing pretty well, where it can see this radiosonde. #hamradio #rtlsdr

Thanks everyone. Some great resources listed here.
I also have had Skew-T reading dreams since @vk5qi and the team added them to auto_rx.

I get a #telegram bot alert for each #radiosonde launch my station picks up.
(I tap into the chasemap #json with #nodered )
It still blows my mind how well the @vk5qi #auto_rx works with the #airspy R2, good #antenna and #lna
Screenshot from just now.

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

Ha! First #radiosonde decode and apparently for this one I have the best position... still decoding while this thing is on the ground... (Forest Service Road... Fillmore, California) #hamradio #SDR #rtlsdr #wx

85 followers · 67 posts · Server mastodon.radioAttached 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!

The Villanova University ARC W3YP ground station is receiving telemetry 📡 from the KB3ZOX reflashed RS-41 radiosonde high altitude balloon 🎈 as it flies up the east coast.
A little email frequency coordination was needed to make sure everyone on 431.05 MHz!

I enjoyed doing this interview with Eric Guth, 4Z1UG/WA6IGR for his QSO Today podcast.
He got me talking about how I got started in amateur radio, how it influenced my career choices, my satellite work, my educational outreach using the AMSAT CubeSatSim, and high altitude balloon launches. He even asked about my standards work in the past with Session Initiation Protocol SIP!

Playing with a new gadget today. I'm gonna try and chase some #weatherballoons and snag a #radiosonde or two. #sondehub

That was an amazing high altitude weather balloon flights yesterday by the #Villanova University #CubeSat Club!

This is one of the GPS trackers on the balloon. 🎈It transmits on the standard #APRS frequency of 144.39 MHz into a twin lead J-pole antenna. The Raspberry Pi Pico reads the BME280 (temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude) and MPU6050 (gyro and accelerometer) sensors. The transmitter is an SR_FRS_0V5 FM module that transmits 500 mW. The PCB is a #CubeSatSim Beta V2 board. The GPS is a LC76G with a dipole antenna.
