My first try at a beacon rocket is ready. The 1 watt (powered with 9 V)
14.060 MHz transmitter, ID-O-Matic II identifier board and a Par Endfedz
match box have been assembled into the payload of a 2.2 inch diameter 5 foot
tall rocket. A 33.28 foot wire half wave at 14.060 MHz will trail the
rocket. The rocket will be powered by three D12-5 motors. The weight turned
out to be 1 lb and 13 oz. The thrust of 36 newtons will be a 4.5 thrust to
weight ratio. I would not launch with any less power. So it looks like a
replacement booster with a G-77 motor would be a good idea for the future. I
will head for the Southeast Alabama Rocketry Society (SEARS) launch in
Samson, AL in the morning. If it is not too windy I'll do a first flight. I
will post some QRPSPOTS messages giving about a 30 minute notice. I will
also be on during the day operating as N4KGL /4 with 3 watts around 14.057
MHz. The rocket beacon will identify as N4KGL/B and be on 14.060 Mhz.
Trailing a wire from my rocket is new territory for me so we will see what
happens. I consider this a real challenge for reports from other hams as the
flight time might be only a couple on minutes. But please give it a try.
