ZR6TG WSPR balloon update time! (Sick of this yet?). Balloon is about halfway over the Atlantic. With a bit of luck the balloon will wake up very close to South Africa tomorrow and potentially complete its trip around the world! Altitude and solar panel voltage looks good! #hamr

ZR6TG WSPR Pico Balloon update time! After a bit of sightseeing through Argentina and Brazil the balloon is heading out over the ocean again for its last leg back towards Africa! Thanks to all for the reports/wspr stations in South America! #amateurradio #hamradio #hamr

Its been a week since I launched the ZR6TG WSPR Pico Balloon. Its travelled over 24k km with the last report yesterday afternoon. Reports were a bit spotty so keen to see if it comes back on later today. Telemetry still looking good. #amateurradio #hamradio #hamr

Day 6! Woke up finding that the ZR6TG WSPR #balloon has sneaked past New Zealand during the night. Might see it wake up again tonight. #Telemetry looks good, 16871 km travelled so far! Will it make its way back home ? #amateurradio #hamradio #wspr

G'Day Australia! 🎈ZR6TG Balloon woke up again on Day 5 after a 3000km trip in the dark. A 12000km journey so far! Telemetry looks good and its pinging all the Aus WSPR stations. @vk5qi #amateurradio #hamradio #hamr #raspberrypico #hab

Succesful day 2 for the ZR6TG #picoballoon. Its been travelling slowly today, but good comms all the way. It should leave Africa tonight if all goes well. Still maintaining alt around 12km, coldest at -36C, and heard about ~16800km away #amateurradio #hamradio #satellite #wspr

Succesful day for the balloon (ZR6TG), settled just shy of 12km. Map shows all the stations that heard the balloon on WSPR 20m today. No more transmits until tomorrow (sun is too low). Lets hope it wakes up. 🤞 ~500km in 7 hours, Coldest temp -35 #amateurradio #hamradio #wspr
