[aprssig] WB8ELK-11 ?

[Rich Garcia]

I was thinking the same thing, time of day, with the sun going down it be
VERY cold up there at 100K. I wonder if he was loaded with stills or a video
camera, if pointed in the right direction it would have made for some
impressive photos at this hour of the day. Going to search a bit and see if
I can find a web site..

  Wow it was heard direct by one station 577 miles away !
  Last post was 2008-03-01 22:54:12z
  23.0 MPH 222° alt 97494.0 ft
  No beacons for over 2 hours.
  Questions why did it quit beaconing ?
  1. Possible GPS not working over 100,000 ft.
  2. Possible frozen or dead battery.

      I have lost it here as of 20:00 EST. Still looks as if it's in the
Lexington KY area on FindU but that is probably old since it's showing 9k
ft.

        Wow just under 100,000 Ft, still moving slow.

Is that a slow moving baloon or what ? At about 7K feet it was hitting the
Rock Hill SC APRS digi on one hop! Now it appears to be up at 9K feet, looks
like it's going to be foxhunting by flashlight but it's still only moving at
23mph.

That was cool, not much in the way of baloons in Florida. When I walked into
the basement I saw WB8ELK's callsign on the D710A mobile I am burning in
before burrying it in my truck.
