Thanks to www.aboais.net, we now have an AIS feed from Turku, showing the busy traffic of the Archipelago of Finland (Saaristomeri). Thank you, Petri!
Mark, N4CMB reports that the ARBONET team is launching a high-altitude balloon called ARBONET-II from JD Trissell Airport in Clarksville, Texas at 14:30 UTC (9:30 AM CDT) on Saturday, October 20th. The balloon will carry an APRS tracker operating on 144.390 as K5FRC-11 (aprs.he.fi tracking), a 70 cm up / 2 meter down cross band FM repeater, a 10 meter CW beacon and a plain language homing beacon that will transmit navigation data in plain English on the 2 meter band. There are cameras and environmental sensors too, so there should be some fine coverage of the event afterwards!
