[aprssig] Transmitting data to a hot air balloon

[Scott Miller]

What is the data stream coming from?  Do you have any particular preference 
on hardware to use in the balloon?

Doesn't the Kenwood TH-D7 decode some weather formats?

Subject: [aprssig] Transmitting data to a hot air balloon


Suppose I wanted to transmit a stream of weather data to the pilot of a hot 
air balloon. The balloon would be not be more than a 5 mile radius from the 
transmission site and at an altitude of no more than 5000 feet. The balloon 
would have receive-only capability.

What hardware would I need to send the data stream from my position to the 
balloon. Is this a feasible idea?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
