On Jan-30 14:00z AMSAT Argentina will deploy a WSPR/APRS drifting Buoy on South Atlantic Seas.
Release will be 100 Km. offshore Mar del Plata coast, seeking west aiming currents/winds.
Callsign: LU7AA. Details & photos: http://amsat.org.ar?f=buoy
Objective: Sea currents tracking & HF/VHF/SAT QRPp propagation tests.
Will appreciate WSPR stations receiving/reporting 20m.

I am seeing WSPR spots now for LU7AA off shore. Good luck to AMSAT Argentina on this project.
