probably the best rocket tracker

there are others. depending on acceleration and duration, GPS + APRS
tracking can be unreliable. it seems most COS parts fail at over 15Gs
acceleration; the ITAR limits come in at 60000 feet and/or mach 1.
so, additionally fly a simple Morse tracker like this

between the two, you will get your rocket back. speaking from experience!!

Why not fly a tiny GPS inside the rocket? Either modulated the beacon with
the GPS serial data or record it to a micro SD card.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I also have a question about using
the Thunderbolt in the future. I'm considering using 4 of them in a
multilateration setup to track an amateur rocket with an onboard beacon.
