If any hams have the capability to monitor on 40 meters, please let us know by emailing us so we can include you in our communications during flight. Please be sure to include your email and a phone number where we can reach you at your ham shack.

We also plan to have a flight website with real-time updates to twitter and telemetry information posted on a map, so if you send your latitude, longitude, and call sign, we will post that information (but not your phone or email, of course) on our map for greater situational awareness and recognition.

Please also send other hams who may be interested in our flight our email and website contact information.

Thanks to all for your interest and support. We'll see you in the air and on the radio!
