An aprs and rtty balloon is on its way, soon over N Poland, going East over Baltic states.

it on 144.600 7n2 100b as well as aprs using OM3BC fw.

Solar only so when the sun get below 17-18° it shuts of for the night.

Hi, I have received on 6:15 UTC (144.600 RTTY)
$$SA6BSS-10: BCTRACK 13.0*22

and was hearing beeps

Hi, I was also hearing beeps only on 144,6 in JO73MI at around 6-7 UTC.
Did not decode anything.

Hi, after 4 hours I can hear only beeps on 144.6 and nothing more...
Looks like something went wrong during boot procedure. APRS seems to be not working, too

payload weight is 4,5gram with 5,5gram free lift under a cheap Chinese clear foil balloon

Gm. One of my balloons just woke up over Poland, its on 144.600 7n2 100b , its using a si4060 so its quite low power, and the LPF is a bit to effictive redusing the power further more so its hard to rx toward the edges of LOS. Im guessing its only 4-6 mW out to the antenna. Its solarpowered and should run down to about 15° angle

Hi Mikael!
I have strong signal here in northern Poland (Reda) on 144.600MHz, but not decoding yet. Signal is floating a bit, plus decoder is having plroblem with getting beginigng of transmision - instead of getting "$SA6BSS" I'm only getting "6BSS" at the begining of sequence. Maybe next time try to put some couple of leading bytes.
<EDIT>
Ok, sorry for that. I have unmarked [SQL] in fldigi and this seemd to help with decoding. Much better sucesss rate now.

I will keep radio on.

Tnx for tracking today!!
You must have a verry good setup as you managed to track it outside of LOS!
