before doing a field test at Trout Lake, we needed to assemble the balloon and harness, configure test radios, and weigh the package, run up the balloon and try the radio links. Just to be sure all the parts would work together.
We did this near Port Ludlow at Dan Withers home/lab on the Olympic Peninsula.
