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.


Saw this on the "News" section of their website:

02:44 UTC: Balloon is probably in the water. There is a possibility
that the balloon may continue to transmit from the surface. Anyone who
can copy the CW at 10.123+/-, please post it to our webpage at www.utarc.org!
