In case anyone is interested, tomorrow morning at 8am EDT, as part of a group for the "Hackerspaces in Space" contest ( http://www.workshop88.com/space/ ) I'll be flying a fairly old OpenTracker 1x under the callsign KB4TYE-11. It's hooked to an even more ancient Icom 2AT with a ladder line J-pole hanging down.
We're using the older tracker and radio is because for the contest there's a cost limit of $250. However, our group is very interested in flying more missions in the future and we definitely want to get something more modern. I'd love to fly the same setup Scott has flown on his balloons (especially since we're already also flying GT-320FW High-Altitude GPS Receiver along with this setup), but I guess there's no chance of that unless the SRB MX146LV radio comes out again. (Scott, any more news on that? I'd much rather buy from you than going with one of the Byonics AIO trackers.) Cheers, Tanner Lovelace KB4TYE -- Tanner Lovelace http://wtl.wayfarer.org/ (fieldless) In fess two roundels in pale, a billet fesswise and an increscent, all sable.
