Hello Fellow Designers &
Amplifier Home Brewers:
The Engineering Class at our small local high school is
scheduled to
launch a high altitude balloon into outer space this coming
Tuesday
morning at 7:30 - 8 AM.
All of the kids in the Engineering program are licensed
Amateur Radio
operators. Since the start of the engineering program
3 yearsago, we
have had 14 kids pass their Technician, General or Extra
Class Amateur
Radio licenses, out of a total of approximately 150 kids in
grades 9 -12.
For those of you that receive QST Magazine, these are the
same kids that
you saw on the covers of the February and the March issues
of QSTand
read their multi-page article in the February issue.
After their evaluation of the weather this afternoon, the
launch of
Eagle VI is now set for Tuesday, March 7 at 7:30 AM CST from
Eldorado
High School.
Be sure and tune in to the live broadcast of the launch and
retrieval of
the balloon after it arrives back to earth, later on Tuesday
afternoon. During the broadcast, you will
be able to see live video
and telemetry from their space probe from outer space. The
kids will be
continuously broadcasting live during the day and would love
to answer
your questions in the live chat session during the
broadcast.

Several of the kids have been studying amplifier designs in
their space
time this year and are gearing up to build themselves home
brew HF
amplifiers this summer from parts that I have gathered up
for many years.
