How on earth would you go about making sure this is not the case??   Do you 
have a a list or something??   I can't find one...  Eddie (NU5K)

 this actually brings up a good point, it is illegal to send devices with very 
current encryption to foreign nations, I know you would not think there is 
anything on a balloon that is privileged but there are many things installed on 
operating systems in the US that are not for export.  I would think some care

Quick Update……

 

After several weeks of flight from the BVARC Field Day site, it appears we 
haven’t heard from the balloon in over a week now, so it’s probably down for 
the count.

 

It was certainly a very interesting flight with all the backwards trips it was 
making.😊

 

As we close the books on this one, we are already testing more trackers as I 
type, as well as testing a NEW tracking/reporting application script for 
extracting and propagating the information into all the formal reporting sites.

 

So much more to come. Below is a snapshot of the full flight.

 

Many thanks for allowing the South Texas Balloon Launch Team participate in 
Field Day with you guys.

 

All the best,

Walter/K5WH
