Hi all,

Just a heads up that we are doing 2 'small' balloon launches this morning
from my place. These are cut-down RS41s with less battery to get them under
the 50g limit.

The first launch will be transmitting the 'Horus Binary' telemetry on
434.650MHz, and the aim is to have it in the air around 11:30AM.

The second one will be launched in the early afternoon, and will either be
on 434.650 MHz or 434.660 MHz, depending on what happens to the first
balloon (if it's recoverable, i'll move the second launch frequency to
avoid interference).

We're not planning on recovering either of these - it's more to give a few
new launch team members some practice filling balloons accurately.
