We tracked them beyond the predicted NE GA landing spot, We tracked them past the Columbia SC updated landing spot (thanks Wes KD4RDB) GPS gave out on WB8ELK-11 near Gaffney SC and balloon was still at 90000+ ft. It was still following behind the N4TXI-11 balloon. We tracked them past Greenville SC, Rock Hill SC, Ft Bragg, NC and even past where the one landed two weeks ago near Fayetteville NC. When last seen N4TXI-11 was headed towards Europe having left the coast at Cape Hatteras NC at an altitude of 102,000 ft and a speed of over 100 MPH If my (poor) calculations are correct, it should make landfall at Lisbon Portugal around 2PM EST on Tuesday. I wonder if they use 144.39 in Portugal? I think the APRS payload did have enough battery to make it. Ralph N4NEQ
