I caught the balloon's position report in CW earlier this afternoon on
10125 lsb.

Caught them at 2205 on 10125. Interesting.

Now barely copying (seems about 10wpm, down in the mud), here in No. MN.

This site seems to have problems; the 'status' page does not
have any data and the other pages have little useful information
and don't display well on NS 7.2 or in limited color resolutions.

Please see http://www.utarc.org/wiki/index.php/Icarus_X
instead.

As per data on the above 'wiki', the payload transmits CW at five-past
the hour amongst other times (which I did not know when I heard the signal).
Been quiet here since 17:05 CST

I heard them at 2335 (actually, it was at 2337 utc, assuming my
computer is keeping the correct time).

Heard here as well at 2335... but copy is not so hot. Had to review my tape several
times to send lat, lon, and alt in another report.

Doh! Turns out it was my computer's clock that was fast. I just
checked it against the official us time on the web.

Uh Steve, let me respectfully suggest you get with the program... the
program called "Dimension 4". Go to:

http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/

and download the program. It is free (or donation). I've been using it
for years and it works great -- no excuse for an incorrect computer
clock ever again. From a blurb on their web site:

Dimension 4 will monitor your Internet connection and automatically
adjust your PC's clock when you're online at an interval you specify.
