High altitude balloons are fun.  There's a group here that launches 
them as well from Adelaide.  Had fun when they installed a crossband 
repeater on one of their balloons.  Also had a go at decoding 
telemetry, but being on the edge of the footprint and with small 
antennas, I haven't had much luck with telemetry. :(
