Balloon Experiment with Amateur Radio BEAR-5 is expected to be airborne on Sunday, 12th Jun 2022 from around 06:45 SGT. CAAS, RSAF and IMDA have approved our application to launch. Payload DRA818V is assembled by 9V1LW and 9V1CV.
APRS on 144.390 MHz, will transmit telemetry: location, altitude, temperature and pressure.
On reaching higher altitude, every 5 minutes SSTV on 145.500 MHz, transmitting a virtual postcard of the balloon.
In our April 2022 SARTS meeting Lih Wei, 9V1LW, our payload specialist, gave an interesting report of the last balloon experiment (BEAR 4) and an outlook to BEAR 5.
Please don’t forget: From March 26th, 00:00 UTC to March 27th, 23:59 UTC, the CQ WPX contest takes place. It’s an ideal opportunity to test your equipment and antennas. The contest draws thousands of entries from around the world. Last year we had a record participation from Singapore.
The latest rules can be found here.
