At 10EDT/9CDT, 4 April, 2009 (wx date 18 April 2009), 15 universities
will launch balloons carrying amateur radio APRS, as part of the Halo 2
project. Look for the call signs KB9ZNZ (1 - 15) on 144.390, in In, IL, Mn, Oh,
Tn, Va, & other states, basically all east of the Mississippi River, including
Norfolk State University.

Thanks for visiting our site. Here, you'll find information on the APRS stations in operation by our members in Central Virginia and throughout the country. You'll notice that each station is different in its construction, showing just how versatile APRS can be, to adapt to just about any operating conditions. We welcome your questions, comments, and contributions.

Within each article, you'll see APRS-equipped callsigns as links. By clicking on a callsign, you will be taken to a Findu map to see that station's current status and location.

Please note: Many articles contain more images and text than you'll see at first glance. Please look for the "Read More" link at the bottom of each article to see the full story.

KD4GIE-9 is located in Doug's truck, and is a D700 interfaced to a Trimble Crosscheck XR GPS. This GPS is intended for commercial use, and is installed in Doug's truck so his D700 and his laptop can take advantage of the multiple outputs. Frequently seen either right outside of the KD4GIE-3 digi, or in the west end of Richmond while Doug is working.
