Georgia, they need your help! Missing Balloon.
On Sunday, November 6th at 11:54 AM EST, a high altitude weather balloon lifted off from Carrollton, Georgia. At about 1:10 PM, we lost communication with the balloon. The last coordinates showed it at 63,498 feet and 5.4 miles northwest of Union City.
I have created this map to show the balloon’s path, a trajectory prediction for that day, two predicted landing sites, as well as the travel routes of two vehicles that were searching for it.
We would appreciate anyone in and around the area who would be willing to help search for our payload, as well as anyone with suggestions about where to look. If you find it, or have any questions, you can contact blake@bearsonpatrol.org. Thank you. WEB

The Perfect "Beginners Receiver"!
- Tunable over 2 MHz bandwidth anywhere in the 4 to 20 MHz Shortwave Band
- Clean superheterodyne design with automatic gain control
- Extremely sensitive front end!
Here's a complete shortwave radio guaranteed to inspire awe in any listener. Imagine tuning in the BBC, Radio Moscow, Radio Baghdad and other services with just a few feet of antenna. This very sensitive (about a microvolt!) receiver is a true superhet design with AGC and plenty of speaker volume. Smooth varactor diode tuning allows you to tune any 2 MHz portion of the 4 to 20 MHz frequency range, and the kit conveniently runs on a 9 volt battery (not included). Add our matching custom case and knob set to give your radio a finished, polished look. Amaze yourself and others - see how you can listen to the world on a receiver you built in an evening. Drives any speaker or earphone. Included case measures 5"W x 1 1/2"H x 5 1/4"D.VE3FRST Special Event Call Sign

QSL via the cloud
Welcome to "myQSL Service".
This system will allow you to download the "myQSL Card Creator" program (see the link above) and let you create Pdf versions of your QSL cards. It then lets you send those cards to the receiving ham via "The Cloud", where they can be picked up for FREE.
If the receiving ham has registered (for FREE) on The Cloud, the system will send them an email notification telling them that they have a Qsl card waiting for them to download to their computer. There is never a charge for the receiver to download a card. They can then later print it out on their own color printer and use it as any other card that you might have mailed to them. The only charge for the service is a small $4.95 annual fee to renew the license for the "myQSL Card Creator" program. The system is "SECURE" as you can see by the "S" after the http url address above. That means that no one can tamper with the card between the time it leaves the local computer where it was created and when it finally arrives at the destination computer.
Enjoy exchanging secure Qsl cards with other hams, ... almost for FREE.

"I will be back in Zimbabwe for two weeks or so as from mid November. I will be active in as many bands and modes as possible, but I would like to put a special effort this year on the Magic Band, so listen for Zimbabwe on 6m and I will do my best to hear you. Drop me a line if you have any special request. I can't promise anything, but I will certainly try within my possibilities. 73 to all, and CU on the air! Antonio, Z24EA (DL4EA, EA4KT)"
