I'm watching -11 from the west suburbs of Philadelphia, PA.<br>
<br>
And -12 is _still_ transmitting, wherever it's landed.<br>

What timing. I just saw this message and checked APRSIS32, which was<br>
already running on this computer, and there was K6RPT-11 in the<br>
scrolling station list. I'm in Leesburg, VA.<br>

The K6RPT balloons launched from California late Sunday afternoon local time<br>
(about 0100 UTC Monday) have far exceeded expectations. K6RPT-12 landed<br>
Monday afternoon near Indianapolis, Indiana.<br>
<br>
K6RPT-11 survived the day's UV exposure and is still flying as of 22:30 EST<br>
(03:30 UTC). It's currrently over the state of Maryland about 50 miles (80<br>
KM) north of Washington, D.C moving at 145 MPH (230 KM/h). This balloon<br>
is going to be out over the Atlantic within the next hour if all goes well.<br>
There is now a real possibility that it may get into radio range of the<br>
UK or continental Europe sometime Tuesday morning UTC.<br>
<br>
The problem is that it is transmitting on the North American APRS frequency<br>
of 144.39 MHz. Could some Euro receive/igate stations temporarily retune<br>
their RX to 144.39 until midday UTC Tuesday?<br>
