Special station ZS6HOT

During the week starting the 8th May, look-out with APRS for a special station, ZS6HOT . ZS6HOT is a station on a hot air balloon which will attempt to establish a height record.

The attempt will take place in the lovely area of Estcourt in KZN. It is planned to reach a height of 30 000 ft above sea level, thus get your APRS station on the air and look out for ZS6HOT. We already had a successful test run on the 2nd April.

We hope to hear ZS0HOT in the Gauteng area via APRS server or via the ZS0RTB-1 digipeater.

For any enquiries or more information on how to set up your APRS station, contact ZS6IIX at 082 335 4750 or ZS6OUN at 082 573 3359.
