From the ARRL web site (but no mention of Mike Coslo or his callsign):
Pennsylvania launch of balloon carrying Amateur Radio payload set (Jun 9, 2006) -- A balloon carrying an Amateur Radio payload is set for launch Saturday, June 10, at approximately 1300 UTC (9 AM ET) from Samuel Lewis State Park, located just south of US Rte 30 between Lancaster and York, Pennsylvania. The "near space" launch is a project of Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School (PALCS). The balloon is expected to rise to an altitude of about 80,000 feet. An APRS beacon signal will transmit on 144.390 MHz, using the call sign NJ2BB-62. Every third transmission it will also transmit "PALCS PROJECT". A 2 meter MCW beacon on on 146.565 MHz also will continuously send "PALCS PROJECT" for one minute followed by "de NJ2BB" and a 30-second period of silence before repeating the sequence. Line of sight is expected to be between 350 and 450 miles. Send reception reports to AA2WN.--Murray Green, K3BEQ http://the.captain.al.googlepages.com/home |
