If you like APRS stuff...a balloon was released yesterday from San Jose, CA that crossed the Rockies and now has been crossing the Atlantic...It just checked in at the Azores 160 MPH 109K Ft Altitude, on its way to the African Continent...you can look at it on APRS.fi and search for K6RPT-11 put in at least two days to see the entire track...

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
