[Vk5-wx-sonde] Possible Launch Thursday 29th October 2020

[Mark Jessop]

Hi all,

On Thursday the 29th of October, at around 10AM, there is the possibility
of a High-Altitude balloon launch occurring from near Paris Creek by the
Prescott College Southern High School, as part of their Science Program.
This school has been performing launches for a few years, but this will be
their first launch using a radio tracker.

They will be flying a 'Horus Binary' 4FSK tracker, transmitting on the
usual frequency of 434.660 MHz. Their callsign will be 'PRESCOTTSOUTH'
(which is decoded automatically by the horus-gui software).

If you're set up to decode regular Horus Launches, then this should be as
easy to decode. A guide on how to get set up to decode is here:
https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib/wiki/1.1-Horus-GUI-Reception-Guide-(Windows-Linux-OSX)

Current flight path predictions are  looking a bit sketchy (landing , so
this launch *may* be delayed, but I'll keep everyone updated with what's
happening as we get close to the launch date.
