The Secunda Amateur Radio Club will be launching a Balloon Carrying Amateur Radio (known as the BACAR project) on Saturday 30 October.
Several interesting payloads are being prepared, including the new AMSAT-SA Africube linear transponder, SSTV, a crossband FM repeater and an ion thruster scientific experiment. Amateurs from various clubs are involved in this project.
More information with regards to the frequencies used will be made available soon. The club can be contacted via email (secradio@jenny.co.za) for more information.
