[Vk5-wx-sonde] Useful Link Refresher

[Mark Jessop]

Hi all,

A reminder on the links useful to those interested in chasing radiosondes:

Adelaide Radiosonde Launch Predictions: http://rfhead.net/sondes/adelaide/
This displays predicted flight paths for the next weeks worth of launches.
Click on the landing marker to find out the launch time (in UTC).

CUSF Predictor: http://predict.habhub.org/
The 'original' balloon flight path predictor - Adelaide is one of the
'preset' launch locations, for your convenience :-)

'Sonde-only' Habhub Tracker: https://tracker.sondehub.org
Useful, as the regular Habhub tracker filters out radiosondes (RS_*) by
default.

radiosonde_auto_rx: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx
Software to automatically scan, decode and upload radiosonde telemetry,
using a RTLSDR as a receiver. The target platform this is a Raspberry Pi 2
or newer, but it 'should' run on most modern Linux distributions.

chasemapper: https://github.com/projecthorus/chasemapper
'Offline' balloon chase mapping system, which can show data received by
auto_rx, amongst other sources. It'll also give you live balloon
flight-path predictions.

'RS41 Tracker': http://escursioni.altervista.org/Radiosonde/
A windows-only RS41 telemetry decoder, which can show quite a few more
telemetry fields than we get via auto_rx. Requires you to demodulate the
RS41 signal using wide-filter receiver for it to decode correctly. Does not
contribute to the Habhub tracking network, and you don't get flight-path
predictions like with the online tracker and chasemapper. Other than that,
it's a fairly nice solution if you want to just grab a position off a
landed sonde, or similar.
