G4NSJ - Radiosonde Weather Balloons. Part two.

In this video I look further into radiosonde weather balloons. Using a web site for tracking the balloons and an SDR receiver for monitoring the transmitted signals, it's a great hobby!

It's great fun!

In case you haven't already found out, I think the parachute icon turns red after there is no signal being picked up from anyone for a certain period of time. So it's considered "dead" and probably landing soon or already landed.

[@g4nsj]

Thanks, I didn’t know that.

Thanks for the second video, it’s really interesting I will have a play around with this. I wouldn’t mind getting an SDR setup, but will listen on my scanner de Mike G4VQH

[@g4nsj]

Hi Mike, it's nice to hear from you. Signals should be OK on your scanner.

I've been receiving a few of these balloons now on my Baofeng BF-F9V2+ (that's the 8-watt model of the UV5R). I've attached a home made Yagi to it and it works very well. Non of them land anywhere near where I live though :)

[@g4nsj]

Excellent! I also have the 8 Watt version, it’s a nice radio. Cheers, Ray.
