Hi :) I used to work in the space sci dept at cornell and i still follow space info and i saw this and thought i would share :) Is there anything that shows that these sun events affect anything with

More like in a swamp in SC :-) My prediction shows it has likely landed about 2 km NW of the last APRS position at 33.3816 / -80.9417 in a clearing near Cooper Swamp just south of Orangeburg, SC. If

Quarantine will likely be 14 days at the top of a tree or Atlantic ocean.  ;-)

Bruce, How does a hot air balloon stay afloat with a non sealed envelope? If your envelope has a hole towards the bottom of the envelope, it is possible that some of the lift gas escaped. Any gas

I'm perplexed how it can maintain a float if my theory of a small leak is true. I'd expect thst the overpressure at float would cause it slowly lose more lift and it would slowly settle out of the

I'm very interested to see the altitude profile today.

Wow....It took off again !! It Must've needed to get some sleep last night :-) I will alert the potential GA recovery folks to regroup. - Bill WB8ELK

It looks like it's airborne again??? Climbing at 100 or so fpm, travelling east at 15-17 km/h.  The solar cells are charging. That's one stubborn balloon.

Thanks Hank Sounds like a nice place. I'm sure my balloon wil be happy there. ;-) Bruce

Thanks Bill It seems like a lot of work for 50 grams of mylar and pc board but if I could see a photo of it that would be amazing. If the solar panel survived, which is unlikely, it will return to

This bird couldn't have hardly landed in a better place in the southeast US except if it's so obvious and available that someone has already found it. I was also working on the general location this

Bruce....I have the landing site estimated within a mile or less: 33.7961 / -82.4943. My guess is that it may be on the grounds of Lincolnton Elementary School in Lincolnton, GA. I will see if I

Hi It looks like VA5BNC-15 started descending at about 01:00 UTC at a pretty constant rate of about 70 feet per minute.  At this rate it will be on the ground in eastern Georgia by about 06:00

Hi Bill It's a 601235 (6mm x 12mm x 35mm) rated at 220mAh and weighs in at 4 grams.  For my design, that was the sweet spot of weight, size and capacity.  I might have been able to use a slightly

I used the Pro-mini for my first prototype of my Skytracker....What Lipo are you using and how heavy is it? - Bill WB8ELK

Hi Bill For some reason my spam filter is discarding a lot of the messages from the GPSL list. I'll get that figured out. Your absolutely right. I'm running DRA818V and it takes about 1300 ms from

K7HAK-11 is now near Lexington KY....it flew about 40 km NE of Baraboo WI but probably 3 hours after sunset from my estimate so wouldn't have been visible. VA5BNC-15 flew 40 km west of you around

where do you think K7HAK is located Bill? I asked last night for anyones guess and no one had an answer. It may have gone right over me. after sundown so may have been
