Has anyone looked at hacking a radiosonde? The BOM uses Vaisala radiosondes that include GPS hardware as well as data collection and transmitting hardware/firmware. Perhaps the GPS side of things could be useful? I seem to recall the nature of the radio transmissions makes that side of things difficult to use.BOM Radiosondes drop out of the sky as an "expendable" devices.dave
