HRN 463: The China Balloon (and Ham Radio?)

from HamRadioNow · host Gary Pearce

Bill Brown WB8ELK started launching near-space ham radio balloons in 1987. I think he can tell us more about this balloon from China than we’re getting from CNN. Joining Bill is Todd McKinney KN4TPG, a student in Atmospheric Science in Huntsville AL. Todd got interested in HAB (High Altitude Ballooning), and got his ham license so he could fly balloons with APRS and WSPR transmitters. Together they have insights on the Balloon from China that you won’t hear in the mainstream media. And then we talk about what’s happening on the balloon front in ham radio.LINKS:Bill’s website: WB8ELK.comBill’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WB8ELK
