via the RSGB: High-altitude balloon launch

The team from hi-impact, based on the Wirral, is planning another high-altitude balloon launch.

This time, working alongside staff and pupils from West Kirby School and College, they will launch a high-altitude balloon at 11am, on the 11 July 2023, from their usual location in Cilcewydd, near Welshpool in Wales.

They will be running a HABduino and encourage all amateurs and short-wave listeners to upload telemetry to SondeHub.

The frequency will be 434.650MHz USB, transmitting 50 Baud RTTY, 425Hz Shift and using 8N1 data format.

The callsign is WKRS_HAB.
