It still looks like a couple of hours or so till land fall. Once it gets
about
as far east as Funchai, we'll need someone along the Morocco and/or Portugal
border to listen for it.

Hi all
I already forward the information to 2 lists
of Portuguese hams, so hopefully some will
catch the packets from the ballon.
Congratulations to the team for the outstanding

Just had an APRS QSO with CT1AKV in Portugal. He's going to try
switching over to 144.390 to listen.

Isnt anyone in Indiana going out to pick up the other DX balloon that landed
about half way between Terra Haute and Bloomington Indiana?
It was still beaconing up to about 3 hours ago, and has a perfect posit.
Just go pick it up?

A member of the BASE/DePauw Univ balloon group recovered the payload this
afternoon. This payload is identical to the one still flying near the
Azores.
73 de Mark N9XTbatteries.
(Energizer Lithium Ultimate).
The balloon is definitely Totex and 188 gram returned to the ground with the
flight string in one large sheet. The neck was simply folded over and
secured with two cable ties under a layer of black plastic electrical tape.
Ron has shared accurate information with all of us. I'm glad that I was
able to get this unit back for him.
Now, lets hope that -11 keeps on flying along.

While everyone in Southern Europe and Northern Africa is listening for the
Transatlantic Balloon, K6RPT-11 on 144.39, I should also offer that you
might hear (during mid-day only) a possible packet from W3ADO-1 too.
PCSAT-1 has a downlink on 144.39 that is usually never heard in the USA due
to QRM, but it might possibly be heard in Europe where there should be no
other packets on that frequency. But remember, that PCSAT can ONLY be heard
during rare alignment of its best solar panel to the sun, and usually around
mid-day. All the excitement about K6RPT-11 landfall will be at night, so
there will be nothing heard of PCSAT (using the callsign of W3ADO-11) until
possibly mid-morning (if at all). If PCSAT does come alive, you will hear
attempted occasional packets at both 1200 and 9600 baud, but almost always
they are not decodable because there is not enough battery power to complete
even the full duration of most 1 second packets..
But I just thought I would keep everyone informed in case a rare packet
popped up on 144.39 in a quiet area.
I also put out an object named "max-rng?" where I think will be the maximum
receive range of the Azores stations based on the range when the started
hearing it. This object is NNW of Funchal.
And I see the track is starting to turn slightly northward, improving our
chances of a Portugal reception!

We might have continuous tracking if the balloon stays above 100,000'!?
The max range heard by CU2ARA-1 at 3100 feet HAAT was 507 miles.
The Max range heard by CU2IE at 20' HAAT was 419 miles.
My estimate of max range of those stations is on the map as "max-ready to go!

M0XSD caught a packet from PCSAT-1 earlier today on 144.390 which confused
us for a bit.
I have over the last couple of days got APRS from the UK into NE North
America via PCSAT-1
Stations that received me AA1XD,VA2CMQ,V01BIL and VE2RIN
I did suggest to the balloon ops to put a switchable by longitude tracker in
future so 144.390, switching to 145.825 mid atlantic and 145.800 when near
Europe. But they seem to prefer using things like the Iridium commercial
system.
Which to my mind is a shame
How cool would it have been to have got a transatlantic balloon flight,
picked up by the ISS and PCSAT-1 and digipeated

It's about 930 miles off the coast of Morocco. If heading holds it will
