Invitation to HABEX amateur radio balloon launch

On 24 July 2010, South Africa's Sci Bono, in co-operation with radio amateurs, unsuccessfully tested the High Altitude Balloon Experiment Payload, also known as HABEX.

The payload was lost through electronic failure and we had to return to the workbench to fix all the problems.

Radio amateur clubs and individuals are invited to attend the second attempt at success by the hopeful team.

Details are as follows:

Venue: Klerksdorp Airport FAKD
Time : 07:00-13:00 CAT
Date: 25 September 2010.

Details of the payload will be posted on the SARL forum and you are invited to share in the fun.
