[Vk5-wx-sonde] Tonight's Sonde (N3710309)

[ivan]

Hi Mark like the idea of the cards. Maybe somewhere to put a radio club contact. May interest some into ham radio or students to talk about it at school. May open doors for STEM activities. Ivan

Thanks to Michael Wheeler (one of the other auto_rx developers), we now have the domain sondehub.org, which by default forwards to the online tracker.
There are a few other neat features too:
Link straight to a sonde on the habhub tracker: http://sondehub.org/N3640344  (note that this will only work for sonde flights up to a few days old).Link to a sonde track on aprs.fi: http://sondehub.org/aprs/N3640344  (This will work for sonde flights going back to about a year).

I'm thinking of getting some business cards made up with a link to sondehub.org, with a spot where I can write in the sonde ID, as something to give to property owners.

I've recovered both *309 and *344. Watched *344 land.
The property owner for *309 was very friendly, had no issues whatsoever about me walking in to grab the payload.At the *344 property, different story - they were very suspicious, but after explaining what was going on they let me walk in with their son and recover the payload.

I'll see if Darin VK5IX can go grab the sonde that just landed near Roseworthy (he lives in Freeling). His young son loves this stuff and will enjoy recovering it. If not, I might head up and grab it tomorrow morning (and maybe go for the morning sonde too).
