Lost Balloon	Reply
by KD8CKD on April 9, 2006	Mail this to a friend!
Wright State University in Dayton, OH launched a high altitude weather balloon around 10AM local time from Portland, IN. At approximately 57,000 ft. we lost contact with the payload which was transmitting its position on the APRS band using the callsign KD8CKD-4. As a backup plan, we had a CW beacon transmitting the message "WSU Balloon" on 146.565MHz. We have not been able to hear it recently. We expect the payload has landed somewhere between Columbus, OH and Dayton, OH. If anyone knows of its location or hears the beacon, please send information to corbett.4@wright.edu. Thanks!

FYI, I'm in Jackson, about 75 miles south of Columbus, and east of Dayton, and I'm NOT hearing it from here.

I'm south of the San Bernardino Mountains by about 2 miles and and just northeast of Muscoy and about 60 miles east of Los Angeles and I haven't heard a peep. Well, who knows, it COULD have been blown this far.
