<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Don't know about your theory, but I
sure see the altitude changes you describe now that you mention
it. I'd think that without a human aboard it would have shot up
and climbed a lot further than the 16K ft that it's currently at.
But I don't have a lot of experience at balloon behavior. And
even more interesting is the recent drop to 14.9K as I finished
this e-mail.<br>
<br>
However, I have implemented a habitat DB poller and am injecting a
HB-NG0X object into APRS based on their most recently received
telemetry information. When KJ4GQV goes out of APRS range, you
can watch HB-NG0X via your favorite APRS viewer instead of going
to <a href="http://spacenear.us/tracker/">http://spacenear.us/tracker/</a><br>

PS. The HB-NG0X object generator is based loosely on the SOLAR1
code, but <a href="http://habhub.org/">http://habhub.org/</a>
provides <a href="http://habitat.habhub.org/">http://habitat.habhub.org/</a>
which is a web-queriable database which is more programmer
friendly.<br>
