Balloons in the Current Era."


The discussion will be moderated by Eric Guth 4Z1UG and will explore the

including the United States Air Force's decision to shoot down unidentified
objects in American airspace.


The panel will feature some of the most prominent figures in the field of
amateur radio ballooning, including experts in the technology and
enthusiasts who have used it to pursue their interests. The discussion will
cover a wide range of topics, including the history of amateur radio
balloons, the challenges faced by balloonists today, and the future of the
technology in an era where the skies are becoming increasingly crowded.


According to Eric Guth 4Z1UG, the moderator of the discussion, "The future
of amateur radio balloons is a topic of great importance to the amateur
radio community, especially in light of recent events. We need to discuss

field."
