north.<BR>Its over Philadelphia right now going up I95 more or less at
28,000 feet...<BR><BR>So all northeastern states are in play.<BR>Listen on

from Annapolis<BR><BR>One of our summer students, Anika, just launched a
round-the-world balloon<BR>using the APRS module from Bill Brown,
WB8ELK.<BR><BR>It transmits once every 2 minutes on 144.39 National APRS
network for<BR>tracking on APRS.FI and FINDU.COM and it also transmits on
144.34 balloon<BR>frequency a few seconds later.<BR><BR>It is a single 3'
mylar party balloon and will cruise around 30,000 feet or<BR>so and not well
above weather, so it will be a risk to see if it makes it<BR>across the
Atlantic.<BR><BR>It transmits at only 25 milliwatts and so a coastal station
with a beam will<BR>be the last USA station to hear it. Probably MD, VA or
DE stations will<BR>have the last shot.<BR><BR>Bob,
