PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT:
------------------------------
Jim White, WD0E, has graciously offered the use of his home as a launch site. We are expecting a launch time of 15:30 to 16:00 UTC.

Our last flight revealed some bugs and destroyed some equipment. This flight will re-qualify the "Shuttle II" for its upcoming experimental payload.

APRS will be active on this flight.

From the APRS documentation:
THE LATEST APRS is posted on 410-280-2503 BBS. After version 3.11 I will also always post a file similar to: 400to401.zip which will contain only the files that changed in the latest release.

The Automatic Packet Reporting System "APRS" is also available by FTP. Click Oakland Software Libraries and be taken to the pub3/hamradio/pc/digital/utils/ subdirectory. APRS is located in this directory. Look for APRSxxxx.ZIP where xxxx will represent the current version number.
