ANNONCES DIVERSES SEMAINE 19 au 26 juin 2016

Hi,

My Pico floater is heading to notrhern coast of UK, please monitor
434.550 MHz USB for contestia siglals :-)
APRS and 144.251 MHz will be shut down over UK.

Tom, SP9UOB
 ------------------------------------------------

Well, due to bug in code (one flag is ignored) APRS will not shut down :-(
Apologize for that.

But Contestia 32/1000 should be on 434.550 MHz USB

Tom, SP9UOB

"APRS will not shut down"

I'm sure the world will continue to turn. Congrats on a round the world
flight ?

You know what I mean, sorry for my broken english ;-)
Yeah, its looks like my balloon has circumnavigated the World, here is log
decoded from APRS packets:

Solar boost converter is broken and it doesnt start at every sunrise.

UPU: Can You monitor 144.251 MHz USB? It should be transmitting contestia
32/1000 every minute.

Hi Folks,

We are slowly getting a talks lined up for the conference but still have several slots left.

What subject would people like to see talks/demonstrations on? - it can be anything from basics to advanced topics, as we like to have a spread of subject matter.  Something for everyone.

Alternatively if you would like to give a specific talk then drop Daniel or myself a line.

If you haven’t already signed up you can do so here:

Just a quick note/reminder that it's not easy to track a flight if the published frequency is wrong.

Also, if you have a flight planned, please check the published frequencies for other flights on the same day so you can avoid a conflict.  Today's UK flights both had the same published frequency (434.250MHz) so presumably neither team checked the other one.  Fortunately (in this case) one of the two was wrong and was actually on 434.650MHz.

Oh, and while I have my soapbox out, do remember to actually test your payload documents (i.e. run your tracker, decode and upload and check you're on the map (and if not, have a look at http://habitat.habhub.org/logtail/ to find out why not).  A lot of the requests for approval of flight documents have not had their payload documents tested, and the #habhub admins very understandably get a bit uppity at being asked to approve them.
