<font color='black' size='5' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>The fellow who was supporting the high altitude balloon program has retired, and it is unsure at this time if it will continue in the long term. It is no longer a 'class' that can be taken as it was previously, so there is no credit for it when it competes for the students time. Participation has gone down, and so has performance during any recent semester.

</div>
<div>If you are suggesting Leach as both an operating position and as a host for antennas, it isn't a good site. Access to the building is even more difficult than currently at Broun - it is only open around 7 AM to 5 PM and is locked otherwise, and that is not going to change. There is no place for antennas, and it is in an electrically noisy neighborhood. We've had problems even on 437 MHz just a building away at Allison with all kinds of EMI garbage. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to be able to more closely couple the groups as long as operating independence is assured. The satellite program certainly needs an electrically quieter location for its antennas even though those signals, too, can be remoted back to Leach or Allison. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks for the offer of infrastructure - I'm sure it will be needed. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"> Have anyone contacted COSAM and Physics for a possible K4RY location? I do know there is a lot activity with the student high altitude balloons and Aubie
satellites. Maybe a shack could be set up at Leach science center. I know the Aubie sat students have been given a fairly large lab to pursue their endeavors. These student activities and K4RY seem a good match.
