Very Cool! We have made and built many PicoBalloons that have circumnavigated the globe. No weather reports - just WSPR reports. We can detect spots in the world where GPS spoofing is happening.

“ Each vehicle (balloon + payload) weighs less than a pound and can be launched from anywhere in the world, per the FAA and ICAO reg”

Florida recently passed a law that does not allow PicoBalloon or your weather balloon type launches from Florida soil. It will result in a $150 fine.
