I still have not heard of anyone copying the HF beacons on 30 and 40m. (10.147 and 7.102 MHz). I am curiouis about this because our next balloon flight will only have an HF beacon and nothing else.
I have been in the 400 mile footprint most of the morning, and have heard nothing, though it is tracking out past Nova Scotia just fine on APRS... http://aprs.fi/KD2AUC-1

For those interested tracker battery
volts are
showing as 9.21V. The volts are
transmitted in hex
in the comment field. I have one of
these trackers,
and it ran for 46 hours transmitting
every minute on
6 AA cells. The tracker will run down
to around 4V

We have no idea if you're receiving
KD2AUC-1
direct. If you're
inside the off-center black
circle, then you're within the
theoretical RF
footprint of the balloon.
Do you have an RF interface
configured?
Have you disabled messaging and/or a
bunch of other
things? (I tried sending a query
message and
received no answer nor ack to a test
message)
Your raw packets at http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=VE9MB seem to indicate that you don't
keep your station
up 24x7 or you don't have a very
reliable
Internet/APRS-IS connection.
I'm also not seeing any DX status
reports, but I
don't remember if they are on or off
in a default
installation.

I agree with you Bob, not the most
user friendly
site for finding out specific info.

Im surprised at the lack of
information on that
site. But glad to see it is up.
I am seeing it
here in MD. It is out off the
tip of long island
now at 9 AM.
But I have heard nothing on HF.
Are those
published freqs the carrier or
dial freqs? Is it
CW or packet?
