November 7th 2022, AA6DY and K9YO

We now have two balloons that have Circumnavigated twice around the World.

While we were waiting for AA6DY to report from the Marshall Islands, I sent an email to the Marshall Islands Public School System to tell them we were back visiting the area. We last communicated during our 8th Launch when we spent 8 days around the Marshall Islands, Below is Erbiland’s reponse.

Iakwe Cary,

Greetings from the Marshall Islands.  This is good to hear.  We wish you and the team best of luck on the project and look forward to hearing updates on how the flight went.  Thank you for updating us on this project.

Kind regards,

Erbiland Mandira
