The upper level winds were heading almost straight West to East, unlike the lower-level winds. We found John Wilke’s rocket (14k+ and a new I record, congrats!) about 1.75 miles 20 degrees N of E from from the pads.

Hey Sean,Bummer, sorry to hear that. Do we know what direction, roughly? towards the windmill to N.E.?

A few kind souls have found the booster and coupler parts of this rocket but the sustainer is still missing. I heard reports of a blackhawk 24 being found at MHM and was wondering if this is perhaps the sustainer?…   Read more»

Beautiful rocket.Hopefully it will show during MHM. I’ll keep a look out for it.

The guy wasn’t even wearing a helmet 😯

I’m not sure a helmet would be enough to make much of a difference if something went wrong.8O

Strangely enough, I read through that on the first pass. Then again, I have two 7yr. old girls who write phonetically sometimes. I saved some of my son’s early writings back when we had to study it to figure out…   Read more»

I got 90 degree SMA connectors at JB Saunders in Boulder – I think they were $1.50 or something like that.

Can anyone post a picture of a DC 30 or DC 40? I have a DC 20 but I’m not excited about modifying the antenna mount and it just takes up too dang much space in the stock configuration. It…   Read more»

Yeah, the altitude would be really nice info to have. It would be very interesting to watch the descent rate.

they will dump the DC-30’s at a reduced price.I could go for $100 DC-30’s. Mine seem to work flawlessly.

Now if only they would provide altitude (elevation) as part of their realtime telemetry… and use a chipset other than SirFIIIW

Got a notice today that Garmin is introducing a new dog collar unit, the DC-40. It appears that this unit eliminates the GPS unit on top of the dog’s neck, and has everything in one unit that sits at the…   Read more»

My DC-30’s fit easily “unopened” into a 54mm Coupler. They easily fit into a 3 inch NC.Also, if they need repair, I can slip them back into the dog collar for factory warranty…They’re a bit pricier, but how many will…   Read more»
