-> NOAA-11 imaging is dead. Okean 1-7 started APT during
-> rev. #176 over the Black See at 13h 11min 10sec UT ascending.
-> I copied a very dark vis-image 240 lpm from a max elevation
-> of 12 deg, this showed the spacecraft clock was working at
-> 973 mins after midnight moscow-time = 16h13mins Moscow-time
-> = 13.13 UT. During next rev #177 APT was OFF.
-> I wonder if the satellite is ever active over the US,
We have also received a picture from Okean 1-7 satellite
on Oct 23 here in Finland. The picture was very dark.
The station was Vehkalahti +60.34 N +27.04 E.

Subject: Balloon Launch materials needed
Looking to launch a weather balloon for high school science class. I
have seen all kinds of radiosonde packages on the surplus market when i
wasn't looking for one, but now I can't seem to find any. Any ideas on
this and the balloon. I think I can come up with the transmitter, etc,
but all those temp sensors and pressure sensors, I would rather find
packaged. I did see a nice sized balloon in Edmonds for about $17 but I
think there might be even better deals in the surplus market.
Also, any contacts of hams who are doing this routinely would help.
Thanks and 73,

that is what I was wondering, but according to the lastest stuff on the
satellite's beacon, it should have been on. Now it has off times, since
OCT 22, but this was 2 weeks ago. I think we have about 2 months of off
for eclipse times coming up, then the pointing will be better again and
the schedule more normal.
I used to do mode JL, but now that that's gone, I'm B only. Don't have a
converter for S, though maybe next year....
Thanks
Kevin
