Ham Radio and other things

Well, this past Saturday was the annual severe weather symposium held this year at SouthWest highschool here in lincoln nebraska. It started at 9 am and i arrived at about 930am, the earliest i ever arrived to one. As soon as i got there i set up my digital camera and fired up the my dell c600 laptop and it was no more than 20 mintues i had a swarm of people even from other stations / tables saying "how did you get online" . I told them my wifi card was set for it as i also have WIFI at home ... so they had to peak at my gateway address and as far as i know i think they may have gotten online using the LPS internet connection. It came in handy after i didnt have a radio in the building to track the weather baloon that was launched about 1045am. I was actually surprised that it was listed on www.findu.com . the baloon made it to about 92,000 feet and landed in south west iowa about 400 miles away.

I amoung others, were taking pictures of the baloon before and after but i think im the only one who shot video of its launch HAHAHA.
