This is my live reception of the the 2m CW beacon that the Bolton Wireless Club launched on a weather balloon. It's miniscule 10mW signal was very clear at my location 75 miles away as it climbed into the stratosphere and reached 95,000 feet!

Details of the Bolton Wireless Club project can be found here: boltonwireless.org.uk/2m-beacon
