<font face="Comic Sans MS">RP pulls an amp at 5v, I guess you would
need more if you had an amp.<br>
1/2 the weight if you can get a dual band radio to do the cross
band.<br>

I was thinking about doing this with a balloon. The idea
would be to use twin-lead j-poles stacked vertically on a

Looking at it though I think that little board has
potential as a payload. I have a pretty good
imagination, but my programming skills are almost non
existent.<br>
A simple ham legal thing that might be fun would be an
airborne cross band repeater or perhaps transponder.
Would that be hard to implement?<br>
Fox hunting? Radio surveying? Dang that's a pretty
cool device, wish I were smarter and younger...
