Balloons over Russia.........
.....balloon headed round the world!
Hello,
I launched a balloon from Rochester NY on February 13, 2018 and it is still
flying around the earth after 55 total days in the air.
This flight is using 2 very small balloons that cost $1.50
each using helium which makes it even more fascinating.
WSPR transmits 2 times in a row with the first being call
sign and grid locator and the second using special Telemetry created by Hans
Summer of QRP Labs. Hans was kind enough to allow me to use this special
firmware for this U3S based transmitter.
