ARLA/CLUSTER: Radio-balão transatlântico K6RPT-12 não deu mais "sinal de vida"

[João Gonçalves Costa]

Californian 144.390 FM APRS balloon update

Amateur radio stations from the UK to the Azores have been listening for the transatlantic balloon K6RPT-12 on 144.390 MHz FM.

As of Tuesday 2230 UT no reports of the balloon had been received since it left radio range of Newfoundland at 0350 UT.

The last APRS reports indicated it was starting to drift south and slow down. When it left the USA it was traveling at over 300 km an hour, however, it may well have slowed considerably since then possibly to as little as 90 kmh.

The payload is designed for over 60 hours of flight and it may come into radio range again during Wednesday.
