Using your LoRa tracker now the RSGB HAB challenge has finished

| September 26, 2025

The RSGB LoRa high-altitude balloon launch took place on Saturday 20 September and was a great success despite tricky weather conditions, which included rain and high winds.

The balloon soared at a peak altitude of 48,556 feet before landing in a remote location in the Thursden Valley. Winners of the competition to win a £200 Moonraker voucher will be announced at the RSGB 2025 Convention on Sunday 12 October.

If you’re wondering what you can do with your LoRa tracker now the RSGB challenge has finished, we’ve developed a handy guide on how you can continue the fun.

If you took part and would like to be included in a special feature in the December edition of RadCom, send your photos and a short summary of your activity to comms@rsgb.org.uk by Wednesday 1 October.
