  30m and 40m beacon callsign N2XE.


APRS on 144.39.

HF info: CW mode, transmitting morse code lat , long, altitude, battery 
voltage.

http://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FKD2AUC-1&timerange=3600
No Positions received for KD2AUC-1  since last night.

Mission info at http://www.projectbluehorizon.com/#mission, including 
reports that hams have received 30m position beacons, but for some 
reason they are not publishing the lat,lons!  Must be a secret<g>.  
These locations apparently are indicated on the map at 
http://www.projectbluehorizon.com/#flight, marked with a U.  Apparently, 
a blue marker with a U is an updated prediction.  Significance of the 
icons and letters not indicated clearly on the site.  The icons sure 
don't seem to correspond with the Prediction legend colors.
