Any news?

Sure !
The forum was down for a few days (myqsl connection error).
But PICO-37 is still UP, today it is over USA.

Day 32. Pico was heard over Turkey - via Turkish iGate. No GPS position - Im suspecting GPS failure. I hope it will recover. Without GPS tracker is not able to switch APRS frequencies according to its position, so there are little chances to get receive it over China or Japan. Gateway position: 37.6...

Second loop completed !

Pico is over Azores right now.

Day 23.
The balloon has already flown about 56181 km. All logs was downloaded. Envelope is expanding slowly, so it may burst soon.

Day 18. We are over Japan.

Day 15. last position before sunset (16.03.2020): 54.97204,32.56007 Boot frame was caught today by UW5EHB-1 igate (47.9912 N 33.4870 E), no current position yet - but it should be still in the air :-) 2020-03-17 05:34:13 CET: SP9UOB-10>APDST9,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAR,UW5EHB-1::EMAIL-2 :sp9uob@verox.pl tr...
