Hello all,
Just a launch announcement for Project Hermes on Saturday 29 August at around 10:00AM UK time although please note that this could easily vary by an hour (later as opposed to earlier).

We have a dedicated tracking page that will be online Friday with embedded HABHUB, backup SPOT tracker link and live twitter updates:
http://track.thehermesproject.co.uk/

Launch will be from Chisbury in Wiltshire, listeners greatly appreciated across the country and in particular at low altitude near Cambridge where the balloon is predicted to land, thank you!

Payload:
HERMES
434.485MHz USB RTTY 50 baud 500Hz shift ASCII-7 no parity 2 stop bits


Hope to be on IRC during the morning.

Thanks.

Dear HABers

Sign: SPL1
Modulation: RTTY
SSDV: Yes, 1 RTTY frame, 2 SSDV frames
Frequency: 434.425 (As configured in PITS, but the carrier appears at
434.394 on SDR# though...)

Thanks folks!

If my long duration balloon survived the trip across the Atlantic, it may be over France today during daylight hours. 433.92 MHz AM modulated with DominoEX16 mode nearly continous.
