[aprssig] M0XER-4 balloon approaching Greenland?

[Gerhard.F5VAG]

Steve,

It seems the balloon sends telemetry in parallel on 70cm and on the
regional APRS frequencies.

I don't know any further details.

Concerning the mails in the Spam folder: This happens frequently if the
mails were sent from Yahoo and AOL accounts.
