STRaND-1 unexpectedly stopped transmitting on March 30, 2013 and radio amateurs around the world have been listening for it ever since on a frequency of 437.568 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler).
Radio amateurs are requested to email reports of reception of telemetry data from STRaND-1 to: strand.messages<at>gmail.com

The STRATODEAN team have sent high altitude weather balloons complete with payload from the Forest of Dean up to the edge of space (approx. 34 km up into the Stratosphere).
Each balloon was equipped with a camera and video recorder as well as GPS and a 434 MHz telemetry transmitter running 50 bps, 350 Hz shift, ASCII. The transmitter enables the balloon to be tracked during its flight and then located once it has burst and returned to earth with the help of a parachute.
Their first balloon STRATODEAN One launched on April 21, 2013 followed by STRATODEAN Two on May 18, 2013 and they managed to capture some stunning pictures and video.

I will be active sporadically on satellite passes from Guernsey (IN89RL) as 2U0SQL.
I shall be focusing on FO-29 [SSB] and SO-50 [FM] passes but no firm pass times, but hopefully will have internet access and will try posting on Twitter (@2E0SQL) when I’ll be on.
Due to this being camping I will be battery powered using a FT-817 and a Arrow antenna.
If anyone needs a QSL Card its direct to 2E0SQL or bureau.
