WA8LMF Mirror of WB4APR Website - 21 July 2008
This Balloon was launched west of Montreal and caused some excitement for the chase team who had to drive to Montreal, cross the river, and go back and forth as the balloon reversed course twice. The balloon travelled a total of 64 miles for over 3 hours and 45 minutes and achieved an altitude of 100,000 feet. The balloon's data was transmitted on VHF and gated to HF which is what was received in Annapolis MD.
