KICKER: CELEBRATING A YOUNGSTER WHO'S IN (AND ON) THE AIR

NEIL/ANCHOR: Although December is YOTA month, celebrating Youngsters on 
the Air, for one 10-year-old in New England, every day of every month is 
an occasion to be a youngster **IN** the air. We finish this week's 
newscast with his story, shared by Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB.

RALPH: The third time was the charm for Max Kendall, W0MXX, whose high-
altitude APRS ballooon projects explore science and the stratosphere, all 
the while using amateur radio during launching, tracking and recovery.

The Medway, Massachusetts 10-year-old told Newsline in an email that his 
third and latest balloon, identified as WB-3, was by far his most 
successful. The balloon launched in October with a camera and a 2m APRS 
tracker. It stayed aloft for about three hours, carrying weather sensors 
and a few science experiments. Coached by his Elmer Mike Hojnowski 
(HODGE-NOW-SKEE), KD2EAT, from the Medway Balloon Society, Max is hoping 
the experiments will help him learn more about CO2 levels at high 
altitudes, among other things.

The learning and experimenting won't stop there, however; Max has plans 
for WB4 in his next year's line-up. He told Newsline that WB4 will be all 
about the tracking interfaces when using different protocols such as WSPR, 
APRS, 4FSK and FSQ. The sky, after all, is the limit.

To hear Max talk about the latest flight - and see a part of it - visit 
his YouTube channel. A link to the video appears in the text version of 
this week's newscast at arnewsline.org
