Nothing directed at anyone, but wasn't their a long duration balloon a week or two at 70+K feet doing something similar? I seem to remember one or two of the APRS godfathers defending this. A plane at 1000 feet AGL doing something similar for an hour or two is not a good thing, but the order of magnitude seems an octave or more apart.<div>

The aircraft (if the registration number is legitimate) is a home built based in Menasha, WI. The person the aircraft is registered to does not have a ham license. My guess is pirate and a very nasty pirate at that jamming the APRS frequency for over 100 miles around.<br>
