[11:33] yeah [11:34] you may wanna pull over somewhere and wait a while, you're well ahead of them [11:34] just about to run some predictions [11:36] CHRISG7OGX (5e01e5e2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.94.1.229.226) joined #highaltitude. [11:36] current vortex prediction is South of A43 near Syresham [11:36] hi 'OGX, balloon is up and being tracked [11:36] a few miles W of Silverstone circuit [11:37] tks gmt had to go out and missed launch left gear on but was slightly off now ok [11:37] HelioSS landing spot is just south of Daventry ring road [11:37] is it snowing up there? missing quite a few packets [11:38] which payload u decoding? [11:38] 60,000 ft is a little high for snow [11:38] vortex1 [11:38] is there a particular one that we have been asked to look for? [11:38] we have very clear packets on vortex main [11:39] CHRISG7OGX, please just pick any payload which looks lonely [11:39] I'm getting good decodes on VORTEX on .077 [11:39] V3 is good in Sussex as well as V, helioss is very poor copy [11:39] good that's ok then. some frequency wavering here [11:39] HelioSS doesn't have many friends at the moment! [11:39] (and is a pig to decode) [11:40] lol ok will do sort of sidle up and ask if she wants a drink! [11:40] every so often it gets drowned by white noise [11:40] I think shes had too many already! [11:42] faster shorter tx? 434.645? [11:42] chasers are still on target? [11:42] 300baud [11:42] All the Vortex signals are good in Sussex [11:43] Vortex-Chase_, you will probaby have to back-track to Syresham but your current position is good for the time being [11:43] helioss_chase, you should press on to Daventry [11:44] doing so - can you update the map [11:44] live predictor should now be correct for Vortex - thanks Upu [11:44] helioss_chase, will do [11:44] nav rac work tks for baud rate can see her at the bar now what is shift? [11:46] helioss_chase, Vortex-Chase_ map updated [11:46] http://www.g8dhe.net/Helioss_signal.jpg [11:47] i'm using 412hz shift - with the receive bandwidth set to 329 [11:49] i have shift 350 freq 434.645 dirty girl compared to vortex [11:49] so 25k they should part ways [11:49] G8KNN-Jon (~Jon@cpc1-cmbg10-0-0-cust144.5-4.cable.virginmedia.com) joined #highaltitude.

[11:51] moment of truth approaching :D [11:52] Vortex is solid for me [11:52] Pyro status should go to 0 when fired [11:52] (and the altitude should start to reduce :) [11:52] http://www.g8dhe.net/vortex_1.jpg [11:52] oops - had the rig control of one copy of fldigi controlling the frequency of the other ones receiver. Mad for some interesting tuning attempts [11:53] vortex4 signal should improve after release [11:53] v4 is quite strong, just a tad drifty [11:53] release time? [11:54] hm [11:54] altitude has jumped [11:54] seperated ? [11:54] reset?
