> *Susan Prinsloo pilots Helicopter in recovery of experimental Balloon*
> Hamnet Experimental BACAR-9 Balloon Chase 2021-10-30 - Balloon payloads
> provide telemetry to enable tracking, cameras for recording and data
> collection devices to investigate weather, radio propagation and other
> experiments.
> As Hamnet had supported Susan in past aviation events, she was happy to be
> part of the first helicopter chase and recovery of a balloon parachute with
> payload.
> Telemetry links back to ground from balloons are limited, so recovery of
> data-collected, as well as the value of equipment are important. Chase
> vehicles are usually restricted to roads and landing sites are 0ften
> inaccessible, or owners reluctant to grant access for balloon recovery.
>
> After Susan diligently worked through all the preflight inspections and
> checks, she lifted off and hovered for a short time while the rest of the
> condensation cleared from the R44 Raven canopy in the sun, even though it
> had been in the hangar during the night.
> (The R44 is a single-engined helicopter with a semi-rigid two-bladed main
> rotor, a two-bladed tail rotor and a skid landing gear. It has an enclosed
> cabin with two rows of side-by-side seating for a pilot and three
> passengers.)
>
> Neil Gerber, ZS6CKC, from Hamnet, was a passenger in the helicopter with
> us as tracking support. We circled the launch-site, which was a model
> airfield and landed. Fire services were on hand as part of the contingency
> plans. The R44 needed a fuel top-up in preparation for tracking the
> balloon. Balloons need to be handled with rubber gloves as the skin oils
> can cause the latex to deteriorate, leading to premature balloon failure.
> Johan Meyer, ZS6DMX drove the chase-vehicle tracking the balloon, which
> also carried additional fuel for the R44 helicopter.
> Susan loaded the expected balloon flight track into the Skydemon app on
> her iPad, which provides early warnings of obstacles like towers, bridges
> and power lines and recommended safe crossing heights.
> GPS position comes directly from satellites, so there is no reliance on
> internet coverage.
> With the track loaded and the telemetry working, we took a more direct
> track to the balloon's position. The balloon travelled very fast but we
> were able to catch up due to a tailwind.
> The balloon slowed down and we were not sure if the altitude and speed had
> reduced because of atmospheric conditions or if the balloon had burst and
> the parachute and payload were descending.
> We landed briefly to conserve fuel and wait for the chase vehicles who
> confirmed that the parachute had deployed and was descending. We set out to
> search and recover it, about 2 nm away. Susan quickly spotted it, helped
> by her game capture experience.
> Susan and Neil had to move to higher ground to establish communications
> with the chase-vehicles as there was a dead-spot where the payload had
> landed. Susan and Neil wrapped the payloads in the parachute for safe
> transport in the helicopter.
> The equipment was transferred to the chase vehicles when we landed to
> refuel - being airborne for around 2 hours both main and aux tanks needed
> to be filled for the return flight.
> Hamnet had established a Joint Operations Centre at Secunda, with a
> prepared landing area, complete with "mobile windsock", which Susan
> skillfully approached sideways to avoid trees and over-flying buildings and
> parked boats. Many of the Hamnet members were camping here for the weekend.
> After the chase vehicles had returned, a debrief occurred. Each
> interested group gave a brief report of their payload performance and
> lessons learned for future flights.
> on arrival at the Brakpan airfield, a final inspection on the runway
> completed an interesting and different aspect of aviation. Combined with
> the skills of radio amateurs practicing their hobby and providing
> communication services, especially when "normal" communications are
> marginal or out of commission was informative. One of the applications of
> balloon-payloads is radio repeater stations, when communications are
> hampered due to terrain or other obstacles. Helicopter chase and recovery
> looks like it is the way to go for this type of application.

> S/K · AZUCENA ALBARRACIN LU9OY DIED AT 95 YEARS OLD.
> by Carlos Almirón LU7DSY, 16'04/2023
> Last Thursday, April 13, 2023, in the afternoon, the sudden death of
> colleague Azucena Albarracín, widow of Tamburú, LU9OY, 95 years old, at
> her home in the Salteña capital.
> She was one of Salta's most recognised voices in the last half-century,
> She could be heard for hours every day 0n the 20m band, where she was very
> popular not only in her own country Argentina, but also in Chile and
> Uruguay.
> Azucena was born in Formosa on March 10, 1928. She formed her family in
> Salta, mother of Ida, Rosi and Raúl, with eight grandchildren and four
> great-grandchildren. She entered the radio in the early 60s during the
> AM-era, being one of the first women with a license, alongside Nelly Lopez
> LU5OX SK of Methane.
> Already in the side band stage and after retiring as a teacher, she found
> in a Kenwood TS 120 the best company for meeting countless colleagues,
> mainly on 14.230 MHz where she was very popular. Using only a half-wave
> dipole antenna, her general knowledge and culture allowed her to approach
> any topic of conversation. Her callsign LU9OY was one of Salta's most
> popular and respected.
> When she turned 90, her birthday celebration was attended by many radio
> fans from NOA, who traveled especially to participate in the event.
> Azucena was active until about a year ago, when senior memory problems
> took her away from the microphone.

> Silent Key On Saturday 15 April 2023, the key of Linda Eales, ZS6LIN,

> tragically killed in a car accident on the N1, along with Berniece, Guy’s
> mother. Linda wrote the RAE in May 2018, so that she would be a licenced
> amateur for the YOTA-2018 event, in which she was actively involved in an
> organizational role. Not very active on the air, Linda was more involved in
> supporting youth activities behind the scenes. Her counsel will be greatly
> missed. We extend our sincere condolences to Guy, Cameron and the Eales
> family and friends.
