---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all,

After sending in my launch request to the Belgian authority I
discovered that they demand an insurance which covers launching
ballons as the last step.
I'm currently still looking for some kind of insurance or other
solution.
In the meantime I contacted the Meteorological institute (KMI) if
there was a possibility they could also send my payload up with one of
there meteorological balloons.
Then I got a very nice email saying I could hitch a ride next tuesday
(6th of March). The launch is at 12:00 GMT.

Downlink details:
- 434.650Mhz
- Shift: 425Hz
- 50 Baud
- Format: 7bits per char, no parity, 1 stop bit

You can select the FALCON payload in dl-fldigi.
The payload will also contain a Geiger counter and maybe a camera (if
the weigth permits it).
Any updates will be posted here.

Current prediction says its heading for France:

Any help decoding will be very much appreciated.
