Thought I'd hop on 10m and see what's going on. Looking pretty decent.

The guys finished the fiberglass refresh today. Tomorrow morning spot-checks and then time to fill it up to get ready for summer.

Right over my QTH

Seriously... Is everyone going to ask Gr0k to tell them who their last, most famous visitor was? Holy smokes 🙄 This is ridiculous!

You have GOT to be joking 🤣

Succesfull launch of pico balloon today. 7 hours of transmitting (every 10 min). Only 300km travel so still in South Africa. Some of the interesting decodes was Reunion Island, Antartica and LA (16000km +) Lets see if it wakes up tomorrow 🤞 #hamradio #amateurradio #picoballoon

My day in pictures. Complete DR site setup with a 8-node Nutanix cluster. VXLAN over IPSec and all HA.

And finally Claude said it....

Succesful day for the balloon (ZR6TG), settled just shy of 12km. Map shows all the stations that heard the balloon on WSPR 20m today. No more transmits until tomorrow (sun is too low). Lets hope it wakes up. 🤞 ~500km in 7 hours, Coldest temp -35 #amateurradio #hamradio #wspr

Yay! ZR6TG WSPR balloon woke up this morning and is floating above Mozambique. Altitude/Voltage still good 🎉 #amateurradio #hamradio #wspr #satellite

Succesful day 2 for the ZR6TG #picoballoon. Its been travelling slowly today, but good comms all the way. It should leave Africa tonight if all goes well. Still maintaining alt around 12km, coldest at -36C, and heard about ~16800km away #amateurradio #hamradio #satellite #wspr

Day 4 of ZR6TG-3 WSPR Balloon. Woke up again, halfway between Madagscar and Australia. Did ~3000km since the last tx yesterday. Travelling at ~150km/h. Lost a bit of altitude, but everything else looks good! #amateurradio #hamradio #raspberrypi

G'Day Australia! 🎈ZR6TG Balloon woke up again on Day 5 after a 3000km trip in the dark. A 12000km journey so far! Telemetry looks good and its pinging all the Aus WSPR stations. Mark Jessop - @[email protected] #amateurradio #hamradio #hamr #raspberrypico #hab

Day 6! Woke up finding that the ZR6TG WSPR #balloon has sneaked past New Zealand during the night. Might see it wake up again tonight. #Telemetry looks good, 16871 km travelled so far! Will it make its way back home ? #amateurradio #hamradio #wspr

Hello South America! The ZR6TG wspr balloon has now finally crossed the pacific ocean and moved over Chile into Argentina. I suspect it might make a turn over Brazil as well. Telemetry looks good! #amateurradio #hamradio

ZR6TG WSPR Pico Balloon update time! After a bit of sightseeing through Argentina and Brazil the balloon is heading out over the ocean again for its last leg back towards Africa! Thanks to all for the reports/wspr stations in South America! #amateurradio #hamradio #hamr

Almost home! South African amateur radio balloon ZR6TG, operated by Tom (ZR6TG), has almost completed a circumnavigation of the planet. This mapping in WSPR.rocks shows the amazing journey so far. Steve - ZSsixSHN Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) H0b0_Radio DRMNA.INFO ZL3GAV Gavin 🇳🇿🇦🇺 Jim Edmondson

Almost 11 days and 36463 km later the ZR6TG WSPR Balloon is back in South Africa! It hasn't closed the loop yet so I can only call it "around the world" tomorrow. This was a nice bday present though. Telemetry is good, so lets see what it does from here ;) #AmateurRadio #hamr
