Need APRS relay in Spain on 144.39 mhz
We need someone in Spain to relay the balloon K6RPT-11 on 144.390mhz. We are losing the link to the web. Anyone in the South of Spain or near that area please contact hams in the area to relay the APRS traffic from our balloon.
Thanks,
Don, kd6ire
K6RPT-11 is currently being gated by EA7FQB to the rear and EA6WQ-10 to the fore. They picked it up just as CT1END was going out of the range circle.
The battery voltage is climbing as is the altitude as the balloon apparently warms up.

Hi Don
Right now EA7FQB and EA6WQ are relaying. But better start looking for 7X, IS0 and IT9 stations, hi.

Looks like it's dropped pretty sharply and slowed down, currently 35mph and 14500' according to aprs.fi - could it have burst the balloon?
