Re: PS-43 PICO balloon HF payload WSPR JT9

Sorry if this is a real newby question. I have WSJT-X running to monitor JT65 and JT9. At the same time I have WSPR-X running with WSPR-2. Both apps are running at the same time listening to the same Signalink. I can see WSPR-2 signals on WSJT etc. (won't decode of course) Are you saying that at the...

Re: PS-40 PICO balloon HF payload WSPR JT9

Hi,

I've been watching with interest since your launch.

How high can it go before the balloon bursts?

Also, do you have any pictures of it prior to launch?
