Episode 250 - Bill Brown - WB8ELK
Exploration of the edge of space, first by astronaut Jordan Kittinger in Project Highman, began Bill Brown’s, WB8ELK’s, fascination with, adaptation of amateur radio to high altitude weather balloons and later to smaller pico balloons that Bill tracks around the world using amateur radio beacons that he fabricates for his balloon launches. With over 600 launches to his credit, it easy to say that WB8ELK is an expert in high altitude ballooning and amateur radio. |
