Still trucking along.  Was looking at NASA high altitude  winds, might yet
end up in Southern Europe.  Be neat if it could be recovered at some point.

It's about 930 miles off the coast of Morocco.  If heading holds it will
pass more or less over Casablanca.

Hi all

I already forward the information to 2 lists of Portuguese hams, so
hopefully some will catch the packets from the ballon.
Congratulations to the team for the outstanding flight!
