Hi all.
It has not been seen again, not convinced it went down, but its not operational which at the end of the day is the same thing. Its unlikely that it would ever have a dead battery with no TX occurring, so resetting from that condition will never happen. But ya never know, one day you may hear it again. There was one Balloon, we had no idea what happened to it, until after many days the APRS signal was RX in Brazil, that surprised us all. So an open mind is always a good thing in this game.
