ARLA/CLUSTER: Transatlantic Ballon Payload Tracking

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Boa noite

Normalmente não faço crossposting, mas vou abrir uma excepção, uma vez
que acho que o assunto é do interesse da maioria.

Esperemos que esta missão seja tão bem sucedida quanto a
anterior (que caiu próximo de 7X), ou se possível, melhor ainda.

> The balloon, callsign K6RPT-12, will shortly be crossing the North American coastline and heading over the Atlantic at a latitude of about 44 degrees North transmitting on 144.390 MHz FM APRS.

> Since launch the balloon has been steadily drifting North so there is a good chance it'll come within radio range of the UK during Tuesday afternoon, An altitude of 33 km would I believe give it a maximum radio range of about 750 km.
