I heard KB3HCY-11 balloon last evening about 7-7:30PM local time while
driving between Albany and Schenectady. It showed on my 710 at over
100 miles out. Signal was very loud. I was wondering though, why it
was beaconing with voice alert? Is this common for balloons? I
initially thought that it was a hot air balloon beaconing as we have
those very regularly within a few miles of Albany. Of course I tried
calling on voice alert ;-) Anyway, it was neat to see this object
moving along.
