Yup. Copying on RTTY and CW. 0200Z sigs were around 459; 0230 sigs
dropped to around 339. Also QSB and some precipitation static from the
rain/sleet/snow we are getting (a dark and stormy night!) Copied
Sequence 966 and 979. Looks like they are losing quite a bit of
altitude...down to around 607 meters. Hope they can dump more ballast
before they start scraping the wave tops.

What's your QTH? Here in No. MN, 30M is dead after about 2300 UTC
these days; WWV 10Mhz is unreadable until about 1300 UTC. I could
only catch a little from the balloon at 2205 UTC before QSB sent
the signal into the mud and I never heard it again. I hope conditions
improve for me in the morning ;-)
