Experimental. These circuit boards are used by the OLHZN High Altitude Balloon team for high altitude weather balloon tracking. However, the circuit boards are considered experimental and may suffer from unforeseen errors or undiscovered technical deficiencies. An amateur radio license from the FCC is required to operate these in the United States and many other countries worldwide. Check your local governing body for details. Due to the experimental nature of these circuit boards, returns are not accepted on this product. The bare circuit board is the least expensive option, but you would need to purchase the assembly parts yourself. The source code, parts list and assembly instructions can be found at https://github.com/OverlookHorizon/OLHZN_Track If you want to have all the parts included or have the board pre-assembled for you, you may select those options too, if desired. They are not required, though. You can source the parts and build the entire board yourself for the lowest cost. -

If you don't have an amateur radio license or want to have a backup system, the Spot 3 GPS Tracking System is a great option. It's not quite as good as having an amateur radio tracking system, but it comes in a close second place. The tracking system will generally stop operating above 60,000 FT., but will usually recover during the descent. The best setups will place this GPS tracking device in a gimbal so that no matter which way the payload lands, the GPS tracking unit always points up towards the sky to get the best reception. Note that this GPS tracking system requires an annual membership in addition to the device in order to get reception.- Motion Activated GPS Tracking Using Satellites
