# Uses the SondeHub API to gather data about a sonde, and upload it to the krakenrf web mapper. It will show up on the map as a moving beacon. 
# Useful for testing tracking of a moving object
# Note that if the elevation angle between the antenna array and sonde is >45deg, direction finding  results will be poor. 

# Requires "pip install sondehub"
