K6RPT-11 is currently being gated by EA7FQB to the rear and EA6WQ-10 to the fore. They picked it up just as CT1END was going out of the range circle. The battery voltage is climbing as is the altitude as the balloon apparently warms up. Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mob

I just confirmed with IS0AML-11, 300+ miles ahead of the balloon, that he's monitoring 144.390 and is already receiving the balloon's packets via RF. He's IGating, but not first so he's not showing up on the APRS-IS yet. With that coverage in place, the next 600 miles or so (4 hours @ 150mph)
