This site uses Arne's fantastic ClickHouse db to track WSPR balloons both current and historic as far back as 2008.
- balloons: check which of Dave VE3KCL's balloons are in the air from the link above, use their slot and telemetry call and slot.
- other balloons: KD2FOU slot 6, W8VPV slot 6, KM4YHI slot 2, all with no tele. Google for others including historic flights.
- search: you can enter just a balloon callsign but it's transmit time slot helps ("time slot" means minutes past the UTC hour for TX)
- telemetry: telemetry is only available for balloons which transmit a tele callsign (eg. 0_4%) at a tele slot time.
- historic: the date/time fields (including 'now') are text editable, eg. 2020-06-01 00:00 for ZL1RS (no slot).
- table: click a locator (txGrid) to highlight that balloon on the map.
- charts: for telemetry searches only mouseover a data point for info, click a data point to locate it on the map.
- weather: on the map, click any of the last 5 days of balloons to show local ground weather and sun info at it's date/time.
- strange values: bad decodes by WSJT are not uncommon and can produce weird results, right-click any balloon to hide it on the map.
