- He also brought in a small Bao Feng transmitter that'll push packet radio.a - Weston described some tracking software that's built on Open Street Map called XAstir.
- We discussed what packet radio is.
- Talked about in-flight video. Consensus, it's not really feasible unless it's something really limited like a very low resolution image each minute or so.
- Talked about parachute

1. Simple
