Hey<br><br>The High Altitude Balloon Project will probably be one of our projects this year. However our more immediate goal will be to get the HAM Licence required so that we can operate the radio transceiver that we will most likely be sending up so we can get data on its location and altitude that would assist in its recovery so we don't have to wait on a park ranger in Idaho.<br>

Hi John.<br><br>I am very interested in this. I have read up about the past projects in the world where people have done this and I think it would be great! What do you have in mind to get started?<div><div></div><div class="h5">

It was nice meeting you all Tuesday. One of the projects I'd like to<br>
work on is balloon photography. I was wondering is anyone working on<br>
something similar or would anyone be interested in collaborating. I'm<br>
thinking something very basic to start and build up from there.<br>
<br>
John<br>
