balloon is programmed not to beacon unless there's a GPS lock,
that could 'splain it.<br>

I wondered the same thing. I postulate battery failure.<br>

<p>I find it hard to believe that the KQ1L network of digi's
didn't hear ANYTHING from 18,000' on down.</p>
<p>From two data points:</p>
<p>@ 16:47:44 EDT 30,733' 107MPH</p>
<p>@ 16:56:29 EDT 18,327' 85MPH</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's ~1417' per minute descent, and still had ~12.9 minutes
of drift down time... which at 1 beacon per min would be
atleast 12 more packets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What happened?</p>

<p>PS I sent some emails up to Maine to nearby operators (K1JJS,
N1ZNJ, and KB1YTR), no response yet and it's been over 19 hrs</p>
