Great job Remi, Nathalie and Sebastien!

 

Brian, it’s just a beacon that reports position and altitude.  It would be cool to have a repeater in the air though!

Howdy,

 

Nathalie N5ATH and Sebastien W5IKD launched a picoballoon this morning at 7h45 local time.

The callsign is N5SUZ  (our daughter Suzanna callsign).

The tracker is a Zachtek transmitting in the 2m band.

The balloon is a chinese 60” balloon.

 

The balloon can be tracked on https://wsprtv.com/?cs=N5SUZ&ch=Z2&band=10m&start_date=2026-03-01

 

It is currently heading north
