While researching it I found that inexpensive LoRa development boards can also receive radiosonde signals. I assumed they would be more complicated and more expensive to set up, but it turned out to be the... Continue Reading →

In this post I will cover my setup of a monitoring station using an SDR to monitor balloons and upload the data to SondeHub. It is much simpler and cheaper than I expected. Monitoring...
