It was a rocket day in Minnesota... I have been mentoring the 12 year old son of a friend for almost 8 years, today he flew his rocket on an H motor to 2400 ft, at over 450 mph. This earned him the cerification level 1 and he is now allowed to fly high power rockets.

Between my drive up to the Hudson Valley on Monday, and home again this afternoon, I made exactly 2.5 simplex contacts on 146.52, caught up on 2 episodes of #HamRadioWorkbench, and one episode of @therocketryshow
So overall I'd say not a bad commute😀

It's amazing how many things are muscle memory ... if you can wake those memories. #art #modelrocketry

Making progress on ol’R2-D2, now with silver highlights. Meanwhile, Peterson was pitching a complete game for the Mets in the background. #ModelRocketry

Long day. Crazy world. Taking a break with more R2D2 paint work, now with masking! #ModelRocketry

Building the #R2D2 flying model rocket. R2 drew first blood as I tried to whittle down some excess plastic with an E-Xacto knife.
The kit is from the 1970s and DAMN that plastic is tough! #ModelRocketry

We drove out to the Mojave desert to launch big rockets at Friends of Amateur Rocketry yesterday. We missed the protests but we did dedicate the pink and green one to the downfall of fascism. #ModelRocketry #Rockets

Hobby Goals for 2025:
Do more FT8 (current < 10 contacts)
More HF in general
Relearn CW
Permanent packet station
finish v4 of the @radiorocket
Get High Power Certified
Finish building the equipment racks/cabinets I started
get new mast up to raise the height of my VHF/UHF antennas (and get a 6 meter antenna back on the air)
Finish KJ7OMO repeater
Get an @nars repeater on the air
Launch a non-profit (been kicking it around for a couple years)
Mostly #HamRadio & #ModelRocketry stuff

Model Rocket Launches: October 6th, 2024
-
Conditions at the moment are looking good for a launch tomorrow, so we’re lining up our stuff at the door to load in the car in the morning. Each of the kids picked out a rocket to launch and we’ll also launch Ponzu with our current “minimally viable” version 4 electronics, to test out the bits that are done so far.
We’ll set up the AREDN stuff too, which should let us send data via the mesh back home, where we can then push out some toots in your general direction.

We are tentatively planning to launch some rockets this coming Sunday - each kiddo will probably launch one or 2 of theirs, and if I can sort out a couple details, we’ll use Ponzu to do a first flight test on our v4 electronics which aren’t done, but are in what could be considered a “minimally viable” state if I can sort out a couple things this week for the on-board antenna.
We should also be able to push out some toots if things are moving smoothly 😏

Vibe with Vance Episode 009 - Building Quadratus

Was feeling mostly better by this afternoon, so while I didn’t get parts for the vacuum chamber I tooted about earlier, I did do this….
Gotta love a good hack.

So - I’m teaming up with my eldest, and we’re setting up a dedicated shop because they’d like to sell some things they designed as well - all the ham radio stuff I have in my current shop will end up moving there, but while we’re setting up the new home, I’d be open to suggestions for #HamRadio or #ModelRocketry or just about any other products that would be a good fit, knowing that the proceeds go to our passion projects.

Early peek at the new brains for version 4 of the radio-rocket!
Version 3 played a Rick Roll when booting up, but for Quadratus, the 12yo wanted Mario.
This helps us know that’s turned on - since this is inside the rocket, it’s hard to tell if it’s turned on without an audio indication of sorts
