As I type this posting the crew at Cornell University are getting the final preps done for the flight of PBH-15. This flight will be attempting a Trans Atlantic Flight and hoping to set two new ARHAB Records (Longest Distance and Longest Duration). Their Previous flight PBH-13 set a new altitude record on March 4th.
For this event they will be using APRS (VHF 144.390) followed by 30m CW and 40m CW. From their Twitter account @PBH5 comes the following:
So if you have nothing else to do on a long weekend why not dial them up and give a listen…. You can even send them in location updates off their hf beacons via the web. This info is on their website…
As with any balloon flights weather could cancel or delay any flight but as of right now the countdown timer on their website is still running so….
