This primarily was a second test launch of the WSPR transmitter for testing range.
However, the launch went well and so the flight details are outlined below.
Tracker Type: WSPR
Model: PicoTrackerWSPR1
Powered by 2 AAA batteries
Predicted Internal Pressure: 2.28 kPa
Predicted Altitude: 17,552 ft
3 day prediction
Not sure why the actual 25k altitude is much higher than the predicted 17k.
To avoid the very long antenna wire from becoming tangled on launch (which happened last time), I decided to roll the whole thing in paper.
This helped, but there were still tangling issues at launch, mostly to do with the paper not unrolling very far on its own, and my needing to hold the neck or at least the ribbon of the balloon.
Further the paper would blow around and wrap around parts of the antenna not yet unrolled.
Two people would be helpful.
