Re: how do i get a vk6 foundation licence
I thought the Southern Electronics Group were running Foundation classes but I can't see any info on their website. Might be worth contacting them anyway.

You've seen a Border Collie do it. You've seen Babe the pig do it. Here's a bunny rabbit doing it.

Re: Tracking weather balloons
There must be thousands of these payloads and remnants of balloons out there somewhere. Almost like sanctioned littering. They must be cheap. Check this out . "... each flight would cost less than $100 including the technical equipment and staff time." I can't see how it could be that che...

Re: Tracking weather balloons
It stopped decoding around 12:20 when the audio started cracking up and lost audio tones completely around 12:35
The data doesn't seem to be useful to the user of the application. There's no lat/long or altitude either (maybe that's only digital)

Re: Tracking weather balloons
I don't know if the 9600 port is wide enough but it's decoding something right now (since about 11.25 UTC) Lots of pretty coloured lines. No scale. It's showing values on the Data screen. I'm listening to the 9600 port and it doesn't sound anything like the radio speaker. Lots of very high pitched t...

Re: Tracking weather balloons
I haven't tried to decode what I heard but it certainly sounds the same as in your video and the Brisbane one once he got the frequency right.
Trying again in about 70 minutes with FT-7800

Edit. Found the chart here It is being superseded shortly but that area isn't likely to change. Thank's Rob ... I have been trying to find that .pdf document for a while ... and I was wondering whether they update it every so often ? Is it the latest ? That one is 2009. It is being updated right no...

Re: Tracking weather balloons
401.5 is where I was watching for the most part (SDRSharp). I think the problem is I was expecting to see the same signal as in the video. I spotted something else there I thought was just an artefact but probably was the radiosonde. It's 8.20am now and is there again faintly. The signal is quite wi...

Tracking weather balloons
Anybody tracking weather balloons? Apparently it's easy to do if you know the frequency they use (somewhere around 403 MHz). From what I can find out, they launch at 7am and 7pm locally from YPPH. There's a demo on youtube of a guy tracking one in NZ with ordinary radio gear and PC software. I could...

Re: 400.000 uhf?
I believe 400-403 is primarily for satellite and meteorology.

Re: PlanePlotter
Thanks Matt. Google doesn't do it for me. I worked out how to use captured OSM maps though. Hopefully some time the PP people will implement local OSM databases. It can't be too difficult. I have two Android apps that use local OSM.
