High Altitude Ballooning

High Altitude Ballooning

Fling High Altitude balloons is fun over the past 2 years I saw quite a lot of Balloon’s fly and I was involved in the past 2 flights of Secunda Radio Armature club with their Balloon’s, We are currently involving schools to fly since projects with us on the next mission on 6 October. I have developed a Microcontroller for schools to do data logging and it can also be used as a flight computer for a High altitude balloon. There will soon be more information on the Project on HABspace.net

The School project will take the leaners thru a Basic electronics course then we will learn them to solder and build there one microcontroller and data logger with a programming course for the controller. The final reword is to fly the project with the club in October.

Celebrate the TENTH anniversary of SOTA in South Africa

 

Rustenburg Magaliesberg ZS/NW001 

It is for me an privilege to undertake a SOTA in my home town. As a teenager I always wanted to do this in the Magalisberg and now is the opportunity to do it nearly 32 years later. Any one in the Rustenburg aria that wants to join me is welcome to contact me or send me an e-male at ZS6WBT@telkomsa.net with your phone number. To get to the SOTA point on the Magalies  is about a 3 to 4 Km hike up the mountain climbing from 1280m to 1645m above see level. The plan is to gather at Bergheim Holiday Resort at 7:00am on 22 September 2013  Come prepared with good hiking shoos; a hat and a water bottle don’t forget the suntan lotion and energy bars.
