NEXT CLUB MEETING:
November 9th, 2017 At our last club meeting... Our guest speaker for our October 12th club meeting was Angus Kerr of Wenatchee, WA. Angus was one of the two hikers who found our downed high altitude balloon that came down near the Pacific Crest Trail in the North Cascades. Angus joined us from Wenatchee through a two way virtual video connection. Angus gave us a rundown on what it took to find our balloon and what it took to recover our payload bay containing our ham radio gear and other electronics. We were able ask Angus some questions about his adventures, and he was able to ask us questions as well. After we let him go, we played some of the video we captured with our two GoPro type cameras.
