- My suggestion is find a amateur radio clubs. There are amateur
- radio who are in SSTV( Slow Scan TV) or ATV(Amateur tv).
- with a chance to launch their transmitter up there. most amateur
- radio will jump to this chance.
- Also there are quite a number of people succesully. done this
- things. which including ballon flight.
- and one more nice thing the amateur radio can help track and retrive
- your rocket after it goes down by Radio direction finding.
