SCARS members Bob Meyer KF5TVG and Rick Rhoton AI5IJ talked about their new segment of ham radio, “Chasing Radiosondes.” Every day at 0000z and 1200z, the National Weather Service launches weather balloons with radio transmitters on board. They recover the radios and repurpose them for amateur radio use. You can watch the balloons as they fly from the link: https://sondehub.org/… Learn more about this new hobby section, and you can play along with the video of their presentation at
