<div>The launches from Pt Wakefield will be on 400.2, 402.2, and (hopefully not for much longer) 404.2. The message has been passed on that 404.2 is not a good place to transmit, if they continue to transmit there I'll be calling the Defence Spectrum Office. I suggested 401.2 MHz instead.</div>

<div>I've got a very very beta decoder running up at the RWN site (AREG_AUTO_RX) however that site has a brick wall filter in front of it, so it can't see the 402.2 MHz sonde. The next one should be on 400.2 or 402.2 MHz, so it should see that.</div>

<div>This will show the next 5 days of predictions, with hourly predictions each day from 8AM to 2PM (might extend that).

<div>I'm assuming a 5m/s ascent rate, 23km burst, and 6m/s descent rate. I'll update that once I get more information on launch parameters</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div>
<div>I've just got off the phone with the leader of the group launching sondes from Pt Wakefield, and can confirm that there will be RS41-SGM launches from Pt Wakefield this upcoming week, starting morning Monday. Launches will be every hour, with 6-8 launches per day. I've suggested they try and start on 402 MHz, and work up in 100 kHz steps with each launch, avoiding 402.5 MHz. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'll work on getting a separate predictor running or Pt Wakefield, so we get some idea of where they will land. They are targeting 20-25km burst altitude, and are interested in recovering a few radiosondes to re-confirm the sensors are OK (noting that they are often damaged on landing).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I've also been offered a sample of a RS41-SGM to help get a decoder going! Stay tuned for more updates to auto_rx over the next few weeks as we get this all working...</div>
