Ok, now I know where Madeira is and just had an APRS QSO with CU2IE
who has been gating K6RPT-11 in the Azores. He is attempting to get
a Digipeater set up in Madeira which he believes he can receive (if
I understood the intent correctly).<br>

I don't know where Madeira is, but here's another screen shot of
the current trajectory. The circle around the balloon is the 409
mile radius RF footprint from 110,000 feet. The stations shown
are the only recently active IGates in that area.<br>
