Fickle Winds
Dave, VE3KCL, has launched yet another balloon experiment. This one, now in its third day, is taking a different path to any of those we've seen before.
Right now it's being heard in Sweden. You can look for it on the wsprnet web page and try to hear it on WSPR and/or JT9 on 30m.
Good morning .. an update we fixed the above map a bit so it makes more sense. http://qrp-labs.com/ultimate3/ve3kcl-balloons/ve3kcl-s9.html 73 Dave VE3KCL
Hi Dave - yes, I noticed that on the site this morning, and it's a nice new feature. Before I've tried to imagine what the real path was instead of the straight line at night. Having the NOAA prediction is better, for sure. This looks like an interesting flight and I wondering whether it will turn South and follow yesterday's path or head over to Europe now.
