Except for a worldwide primary allocation at 1270 to 1295 MHz, the only specific allocations for wind profiler radars are in Region 1, and those are on a secondary basis. The delegates also agreed that the frequencies between 420 to 435 MHz or 438 to 440 MHz could be considered for use in situations where there was incompatibility between wind profiler radars and other radio applications. In this case, too, the amateur-satellite segment is protected. Winds were very light and Hank says the balloon rose gently almost straight up and then off to the north. N1LTV is awaiting QSL reports.
Several trackers have signal records covering well over an hour of beacon transmissions.
Hank also reminds stations that it's also quite valuable to hear from those stations who attempted to copy the balloon and did not. This will aid in the effort to understand signal conditions during the flight. An SASE if required if you'd like a Balloon QSL card. N1LTV asks stations to include information about your receiving and antenna equipment, as it will be useful for the post-flight analysis. Hank reports his callbook address should be used for all QSL requests.
