I'm a physicist (well, almost got my degree) and I like the current developments in the space field. Companies like SpaceX are pushing the fronteer. But I feel like the everyday person has no idea 'where we are at' in our move to space. Like when you ask someone what the furthest human-made object is they sometimes know it's the voyager, but have no id [16:56] <_bart> ea how far or 'where' it is.

[17:01] awesome [17:02] <_bart> It's pretty hard to come up with a good name though, so feel free to share the ideas.

[18:48] last battery reading was 1.408 V (from last aprs frame) so battery is in good condition [18:48] altitude with histeresis [18:49] hysteresis? [18:49] when going up path is removed above 2500m [18:49] This morning it suddenly was WIDE2-1 and now it is gone [18:50] at 7500m [18:50] LeoBodnar: because of gps glitches [18:50] wide path is good, ignore aprs.fi [18:50] Herman-PB0AHX_ (53560375@gateway/web/freenode/ip.83.86.3.117) left irc: Ping timeout: 272 seconds [18:50] especially around Italy [18:51] Herman-PB0AHX_ (53560375@gateway/web/freenode/ip.83.86.3.117) joined #highaltitude. [18:51] I am working to gather indeed but is not easy if you have no experience [18:52] RocketBoy (~steverand@05464493.skybroadband.com) joined #highaltitude. [18:53] if you think about it too much you'll never do it [18:53] just get it done :) [18:54] This guy is so weird :/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ip01je1qFQ [18:54] jevin (~jevin@72.12.217.220) left irc: Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com [18:55] yeah, it's easier than most people think. there was almost no information there to be gethered when we started [18:55] craag not seen it yet [18:55] maybe willdude123, but his english is rarely understandable foe a non-native speaker [18:55] LeoBodnar: APRS has some advantages over RTTY :-) [18:56] RTTY has no single advantage over APRS [18:56] simplicity [18:56] now, when we have small lightweight trackers we can use unattended receiving stations [18:57] LeoBodnar, we can use it in the UK [18:58] my first tracker had 230 grams. http://sp9uob.verox.pl/traker.jpg [18:58] we could do aprs on 869mhz [18:58] jcoxon: something was changed ? [18:58] but it would be kinda pointless :) [18:59] SP9UOB-Tom, i mean rtty on 434 can be used in the UK so its an advantage over APRS [18:59] http://sp9uob.verox.pl/20111123_201703.jpg [18:59] http://sp9uob.verox.pl/20111123_201726.jpg [18:59] APRS on 434MHz will do just fine in the UK [18:59] jcoxon: ok i see :-) [18:59]
