    Just a thought.

    Also I had some ideas for a modification to LOHAN.

    A lot of folks (cough ie most of UK/Europe/etc /cough) have satellite RX units, why not just have a very small low bandwidth 11.2 GHz 200uW TX module in an OCXO?

    Anyone with the correct preset on their Freesat b0xen can then receive LOHAN telemetry as a simple screen as it goes past the FOV and if the signal is too weak they just get nothing.

          Egads, that works a lot better if the A is 'Answer' rather than 'Ahh!'!

    Duh.

    REHAB

    RockBLOCK

    Edge

    High

    Altitude

    Balloon

    Obviously you spell your sponsors' names correctly!

    As in "REHAB is a Go For the LOHAN team!" Or "REHAB Gives OK for LOHAN flight."

    And I don't need the RockBLOCK so give it to a deserving team member. But I still want to buy the original Kickstarter LOHAN mug.
