Default Another Ilmari balloon launch Sep 2nd at 06 UTC
After a successful maiden flight two weeks ago, there will be another
Ilmari balloon flight next weekend. The flight is scheduled for 06 UTC
on Sunday, September 2nd, 2007, from Sappee (KP21GJ).

Ilmari should be workable from many parts of north-eastern Europe, if it
goes as high up as the previous flight (30 km). Remember to keep your
ERP low, 1 watt is plenty for working Ilmari's 2m/70cm ssb/cw
transponder! APRS(-IS) callsigns will probably be OH2SIX-11 and/or -12.

Have a look at http://wiki.ham.fi/Ilmari-2007b for operating
instructions and http://www.kolumbus.fi/michael.fletcher/ilmari.htm for
pictures and information from the maiden flight.
