Yeah, okay, Ken, I might as well just go ahead and get it over with. Today on my QRZ page we're monitoring 247 APICA balloons. We had actually one balloon this week that beaconed after 45 days, so I guess my, I guess my spreadsheet's going to get a little longer. We had 31 new launches this week and nine new launches yesterday. We had a total of 36 balloons beaconed today and we only lost track of four of them this week. Active APICA balloons, Wayne Bates Adopt-It balloon, K's Teelo Charlie 3, LBR 226, in flight for 350 days, circled the Earth 23 times. Delta Oscar 3, Golf Uniform 33, is off the coast of Nova Scotia and Sierra Papa 2, Romeo Oscar Charlie 41, is off the coast of Newfoundland. Now the longest recorded flight so far is Whiskey Bravo 6, Romeo Echo Romeo-11 with 855 days and an estimated 270 laps around the world. Alpha Bravo 9, Lima Mike Dash 11 is circling the Earth for 592 days, that's 592 days. Just a heads up for the guys that are monitoring the Canada Hub group, V7 NFR, they have a GoFundMe page to help support their upcoming launch. The next high altitude balloon will be testing live stream video, should be, should be quite interesting. And finally, my sponsored PICA balloon is 61 days now over Portugal and if you have any questions or are interested in learning more about PICA balloons or how to adopt one, simply check out my QRZ and drop me an email. Thanks again for sharing and cemetery all.
