This is going to be my first attempt at a pico floater, and the first outing for my new ARM based tracker. It will be launched in conjunction with Wirral Grammar School for Girls as a warm up for their high altitude flight in a couple of weeks. Launch time should be about 1630h from the school.
The balloon is a 36" foil. Payload details as follows:
Frequency: 434.400 MHz +/- drift
Modulation: OLIVIA 8/1000 + CW pips
Transmission period: 30 seconds. 1 sentence per period. CW pips at 2 second intervals in between (in the channel centre)
Power: 1 AAA, no solar
NOTE: fldigi will autoconfig to Domino EX - select Olivia 8/1000 from the Op Mode menu.
Trackers appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
