[W5SFA] wa5iwb balloon

[jparmalee at aol.com]

Such a balloon, Such weather.   

I enjoyed tracking on APRS.fi.  Some balloons delight with a long and boring
flight'. others delight a short but spectacular flight.  My congratulations
to those that built WA5IWB-11

in the mountains just on the edge of the Mohave desert.

Howdy,

 

Bad news, the balloon stopped transmitting yesterday afternoon in the
Pacific ocean WNW of Acapulco.

It happened when the balloon met tropical storm Raymond.
