Andy Nguyen, VK3YT,
continues to do amazing things with balloons carrying ham radio transmitters.
According to Southgate Amateur Radio News, Andy's PS-58 balloon was launched
from Australia
on December 29. It floated northeast across the Pacific, over the equator and
across Central America and the Caribbean Sea before heading out over the North
Atlantic and floating toward Africa. As this is written on January 29, a month
after its launch, PS-58 is still up there, being tracked by hams on multiple
continents.
Nguyen's previous balloon
flight, PS-57, also crossed the equator - twice - before coming down in back
weather in the Indian Ocean.
