Hi Chris - The balloons were doing great on this beautiful day. You came 
up to about 11/12 db above the noise on your 40m wire with me on your 
first transmission. When you changed to the balloons the signals went up 
to peak about 18dB above the noise. You are now back to about 11dB above 
the noise. I'm using the long term average from Spec Lab to estimate the 
noise floor.
