Next NEARS space balloon launch September 3

The Arizona based Near Space Research group says that its next Amateur Radio balloon launch event will take place on Saturday September 3rd at 8:00 am near Phoenix.

Planners say that they need folks from California and elsewhere to make contact via the onboard cross-band repeater and APRS systems.

The voice system operates with an uplink which will be on 145.560 MHz using a 162.2 Hz CTCSS access tone. You listen for Near Space on 445.525 MHz. This event can also be heard live via the IRLP.

Arizona Near Space Research is focused on promoting science and education through Amateur Radio and High Altitude Balloons.
