Keeping the beam steady.
This picture was taken as the beam was

beam's orientation has to be held steady
during raising and lowering.

Wi-Fi at 5600 feet!
Our camp had it's own local Wi-fi net tosupport our networked logging program (FDLog). This system also provided internet access, albeit only at EDGE speeds (no high speed nodes up there!).

The balloon antenna.
We put up a vertical wire antenna using a weather balloon as the support. It's just about ready to launch.

The crowd admires its handywork. And by the way, this makes a great antenna!
