well over 300 miles (circle is 357 miles radius) and lit up
digipeaters across a 700 mile range. All of those green lines at
the edges are unnecessary digipeater hops because it's quite
likely that the red lines were hitting numerous IGates at the same
time the digipeaters received it.<br>

(southwest of Joliet) around 1pm EDT. It's beaconing every 30
seconds with a WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 path. It peaked at around 40,000
feet and seems to dropping pretty fast now. While it had some
altitude, it was being heard by digipeaters in the Indianapolis
area.
