Real Time Tracking

Using the amateur radio mode APRS® (Automatic Position Reporting System) you can find the location of thousands of amateur radio operators. We use this digital mode to track our balloon payloads in real time, and chase it to its destination in hopes of being in range to see, or catch it, as it descends back to the surface.

By clicking on the links below, you can get the last received position of a few of our APRS transmitters

This sight automatically updates when new positions are gated to the internet.

When asked for the callsign or nickname, use my mobile’s callsign and SSID which is kc0mwm-9

This will place the Google Map in the vicinity of our position. The two callsigns with balloon icons to watch for are:

KC0ZWX-11 and KC0MWM-11
