WSPR Party Balloons Make it Across the Pond

April 15 at 11:25am

VE3KCL/QRP Labs S-9 balloon finally reached Europe! What a crazy way to cross the Atlantic. Crossed Portugal, now into Spain. France is next! 16mW 30m WSPR signal was reported in ZL and VK (19,000km DX). Who says you need 5W on HF WSPR? 73 Hans G0UPL http://qrp-labs.com

For all: the live tracking link in the previous report (http://qrp-labs.com/ultimate3/ve3kcl-balloons/ve3kcl-s9.html) is the direct link for the flight.

Given the situation on their borders, and their valiant attempts at secularisation, I would not be surprised to find a touchy military to have shot it down as a spy drifting in on the evening breeze. Are there any Turkish Hams with any news?
