September 11th, day Nine, AA6DY near Caspian Sea

/ kd9ito

AA6DY woke at Grid LN35PA near the Caspian Sean at 5:04 UTC 12:04am CDT at 13,780 meters. This area is southwest of Astrakhan, and east of Artezian, Russia. Yesterday, AA6DY went to sleep near the Romania/Moldova borders. Though we’re not getting regular reports at this leg of our trip, we did receive a 4 Grid Maidenhead at 12:12 UTC of LN82 The images are below.

The Links to Locate and Track tab have been updated with the Jestream for tomorrow, we’ll wait for tomorrw to get the more current APRS.fi location and altitude.

The way we’re traveling, I’m expecting wakeup around 11:00 pm CDT this evening.

  1. It’s inspiring to see another great day for our balloon. Our altitude is steady, above 45,000 ft., close to our ideal altitude. It looks like stretching the balloon, makes a difference. Can’t wait to see where we end up this evening.
