[05:08] it was me [05:08] i reprogrammed it [05:08] ah ok it was you :-) [05:09] so i didnt pay attention, i read it as someone else who had launched it [05:09] so i was wondering why 434, if it was a metro launch [05:13] PE1ANS (52b04031@host-boru8h.gdk1.zeelandnet.nl) joined #highaltitude.

[11:58] https://github.com/projecthorus/horus-gui [11:58] not hard to set up [11:58] https://rfhead.net/horus/horusgui/ [11:58] easier than fldigi [11:58] started to get reds now ..there are two mountain ranges between me and AEROSOL [11:59] ill give it a go, put it on to do list ,,, [11:59] start it up, enter location details, select sound card, click start.. [12:06] when I saw it yesterday I didn't expect happysat to come in range so my 4FSK rx was off until I noticed it [12:10] dbrooke, you´re the GHZ guy ? [12:10] GZH I mean ;-) [12:13] yes [12:14] Nick change: Hiena -> Hiena_away [12:15] good reception very far! [12:15] nice RX indeed! [12:15] We welcome Ron to the 4fsk receivers :-) [12:16] Darkside ..well that was easy... thanks decoding now [12:16] that's on a 1/4 wave with habamp at 6m AGL (8m ASL) [12:16] wow! [12:16] I should really put it up higher as there's 2m of pole below the bottom bracket [12:18] I'll have to update my position.. seems I've moved into London!! [12:18] Makes the DX even better :-) [12:21] uh oh, going down faster [12:21] fortunatly still ended up north side of river Thames,you ,dont want to go south [12:21] If it makes it down to South West England I'm going to dig my butterfly net out. [12:24] Darkside, it´s following the regulations ;-) [12:24] lol [12:24] antenna on far right of https://stuff.dbrooke.me.uk/sp-evkpkn.jpg [12:25] The one on the left is 868 ? [12:25] yes [12:26] there are 2 preamps in the box [12:26] but I need to wire up the bias-t for 868 [12:26] all gone now it seems [12:26] You knew my next question :-) [12:27] https://stuff.dbrooke.me.uk/sp-JnpWxa.JPG [12:29] neat [12:29] still have a trace, but no decodes [12:31] I remove the end panels from the amps and drilled the plate for the screws and SMA connectors https://stuff.dbrooke.me.uk/sp-q0Amac.JPG [12:35] it must still be flying , can still see trace [12:36] lol :) [12:36] are the freuqency estimators in horus-gui still locked on? (e.g. are they spaced about right) [12:37] ppl must see this colored balloons [12:37] quite a view [12:37] or are they just jumping around [12:39] enabling the mask estimator will let it lock on for a little bit longer, but i doubt you'll get a valid decode out of it [12:40] they were spaced ok...I'll get used to what to faf about with on another flight...got some 23cms dx to work see you later thanks for help and flight [12:42] Ron_G8FJG (56b0bd3b@host86-176-189-59.range86-176.btcentralplus.com) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [12:54] Is anyone watching DELTA-5R? An interesting example of precision ballooning. :) [12:56] JohnLaidler_, as in active receiving and uploading ? [12:57] JohnLaidler_: I've kept the data stream open for the wiv3n, received no more data, last received data from last week 2020-09-10T16:41:53.78203Z [12:57] No, it's probably going to land a few kilometres from the launch site - with added water hazards thrown in for extra fun. [12:58] if there's a tree, it will hit it [12:58] Yeahh the predictor changed rapidly over night. [12:59] But if precision is good it should land at PC4L ´s receiver location :-) [13:01] I fear wiv3n has been lost but it may yet return to Europe. I live in hope. :) [13:02] ok, I'll keep the MQTT stream open for another week :) [13:02] Thank you. [13:20] PE1ANS (52b04031@host-boru8h.gdk1.zeelandnet.nl) left #highaltitude. [13:28] BRAINLES71 (65bfc56f@101.191.197.111) joined #highaltitude. [13:39] So having little to no experience in radio i'm assuming the first step along the journey to HAB's is to get my amateur radio license? [13:42] BRAINLES71, depends, if following / listening is good to start you don´t need to have a license. Antenna (s) and receiver(s) will be handy to have [13:42] Thats a good point PE2BZ i hadn't thought about following/listening... [13:43] I guess either way i would need a setup to track and chase larger payloads. [13:44] If the payload carries a transmitter which sends the GPS position and you can decode that [13:45] No experience at all in listening / receiving HAB´s so far ? [13:47] No unfortunately not. [13:47] I have toyed with the idea for many years. My original inspiration was to take photos of the curvature of the earth but i got busy with life and never followed through. [13:49] Where are you from ? [13:49] I recently found BPS.Space on youtube (high complexity model rockets) and was reminded about this desire. So i have gone back to basics and started looking at Pico transmitters, reading my local aviation legislation (CASA) and getting my radio license [13:50] Sydney Australia [13:50] You should be asleep ;-) [13:50] ahh its only 11:50 [13:50] Any receiving equipment around? anything like SDR receivers ? [13:51] Negative but ill add ill add one to the shopping cart [13:53] Start with an easy to get RTL-SDR device, sdr-sharp software for the receiver and famous horus gui software from Darkside who lives ¨close to you¨ [13:53] And a groundplane antenna for 420-440 MHz [13:53] Oh yes i remember looking at project Horus :) [13:55] re-using RS41 trackers which also fly near you you get a cheap and accurate GPS transmitting payload [14:01] matt|home (~matt@unaffiliated/matthome/x-8401877) left irc: Quit: Leaving [14:02] F5APQ (5a6eaa8d@lfbn-lil-1-1361-141.w90-110.abo.wanadoo.fr) joined #highaltitude.
