MSF partially shut down until 21 April

/

A scheduled annual maintenance shutdown of the MSF 60kHz Radio Time Signal service is planned. It will allow safe working on the masts and antennas.

The service will be off-air from 0700 to 1700UTC each day between the 4th and 21st of April 2022. The transmission will be restored overnight whenever possible. A radio-controlled clock will not be able to pick up the MSF signal during these periods, so may drift off from the correct time.

High Altitude Balloon Experiment

High Altitude Balloon Experiment

High-altitude weather balloons, also known as HABs, are increasingly popular in meteorological and scientific communities in terms of analyzing atmospheric and weather patterns. Data collected by HABs provides valuable input for computer forecast models that detect and predict weather and storms locally at an economical price.

The High-Altitude Weather Balloon project aims to collect atmospheric data using a payload consisting of an electronic sensor and communication system, mounted to a helium balloon. Data including temperature, pressure, humidity and position will be collected by this payload.
