o A credit card is needed for Iridium modem initialization and usage charges; see communication from Dr. Jani Pallis

WVSGC will provide our office credit card. We did this for Jon Saken back in 2017. Marcus - sorry but I hear the reference during the webinar however I can't find a direct communication from Dr. Jani Pallis

Reached out to Mary Bowden, here is her response:

Not to worry - I'm pretty sure Montana will be buying the Iridium modems, configure them for balloon tracking and cut-down operations, test them and then send you the unit. At that point (in a month or more), you'll need to switch the subscription cost (which is about $15/month) from Montana to your billing address - and Jani (who is one of the other Pod leads) is the expert on how to do this. I don't believe she has sent out an email yet on this topic.

I should know more on Wednesday about the timing of this, and will let you know then -- Mary
