Hi Luke, I have been working USA without issue, incl last night, However
Europe was poor early this morning,
probably due to a slight breeze coming up. which brings the tethered
balloon down substantially with a bad angle.
For operation analysis, I usually watch
https://wind.willyweather.com.au/qld/darling-downs/laidley-heights.html
for wind conditions , which is useful, but like most weather forecasts,
not always accurate, but a good guide.
This Sunday coming looks like a good time to setup again.

Hi Adrian,
Conditions to NA have been dreadful lately. They usually improve
around the Equinox, but not so now.
Hopefully it will improve soon, to make your effort of the balloon
antenna worthwhile.
