NU6XB-11 Pico Balloon Launch
As part of my amateur radio class at UC Berkeley, we launched a small party. balloon filled with Helium and equipped with an APRS transmitter. We pretty much followed the instructions at: https://github.com/lightaprs/LightAPRS-W-1.0/wiki/Tips-&-Tricks-for-Pico-Balloons to the letter.

As the balloon progressed, I sent several updates to students and faculty. These are informative, so I’m attaching all of them here as blog posts.
