Ha, forgot I had a number of Cushcraft 406Mhz omni gain antennas in the backyard, so putting up a #Sondehub station for #wx #weather #balloon reception was simple (threw it onto the same machine I am running #SatNOGS on... will see how that goes!). #hamradio

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

You can track some of the balloons with this website: https://amateur.sondehub.org/

>This site displays telemetry from Amateur Radio high-altitude balloon launches, using the SondeHub-Amateur database.

It looks like it might be based in Europe, as it seems to have the most data over Great Britain and Germany, but it does show some over the USA.

This is where I got it from: https://mastodon.modern-industry.com/@mkarliner/109859161987673697

If your upgrading from OpenSearch 1.x to 2.3 there's a gotchya with the bulk API if you've been using _doc in your bulk api path. You'll get a

> Malformed content, found extra data after parsing: START_OBJECT"

vague error message. From _doc from the path and you should be good.

VK5QI> Some radiosondes in relation to the #Artemis1 launch showing up on http://tracker.sondehub.org - we really need a station closer to the cape!

*extensively tests sondehub changes locally before deploying out*
*deploys*
*entire thing catches on fire*

Turns out the parameters for format traceback changed between python 3.9 and 3.10 and my python version was newer than AWS Lambda. #code #sondehub
