[amsat-bb] Re: K6RPT-11 APRS Balloon heard by CU2IE / Sao Miguel - still at 109k - almost across the Atlantic

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I've sent APRS messages to the CT1AKV and EA7CRT IGates in Portugal and 
Spain respectively, but have so far only received acks but no human 
response.  Hopefully they'll see the messages and possibly switch over 
to 144.390 to receive the balloon if/when it gets that far.

PS.  Here's the IGates in the area.  Not a lot to go on.  The red circle 
are 1/2 PHG coverage.
