Thought you'd all enjoy seeing a Findu map of the 13 balloons that were in
the air this Saturday Nov. 3rd....at least the 13 I know about....Zoom out
to a view of the whole USA to see all the balloons on the Google Map.

N0RNB-1
 
I discovered the unannounced Idaho State U Rise program's balloon (K9GP-10
and K3ZGO-11) while looking at the APRS-IS VHF propagation map and noticed a
"strange" band opening over Idaho....the other strange band openings were
over the midwest with the HALO balloons, as well as Kansas and Arizona.
