Balloon Over Atlantic

KK6BJ-11 over the atlantic

Here you can see the track of my friend’s mylar party balloon he launched from Torrance on Sunday evening. It is heading out over the atlantic!

The balloon has a solar-powered radio and GPS tracker that report’s it’s position to the HAM Radio APRS network.
Here is a link to the live track.
