The last report of the high altitude balloon was departing the cultural and historical country of Japan when it entered the North Pacific Sunday evening. Nothing has been heard since that day, could it have been pushed more North along the Aleutian Islands? The Pacific as we know from our own California wx has been a swirling air mass of low pressure systems. Myself thinking the worst that the balloon was sheared to pieces by these weather systems.
No, it was not WB6TOU-11 is alive! Aprs signals were recorded on aprs.fi the balloon has entered Canada, again traveling South East near Vancouver on the way to the border of the United States! Our little amateur radio friend and exhibition of Toughness!
