You'll have to produce a new 'photoshop' soon Joe

The balloon is currently off the coast of Namibia/South Africa but 'looping' around in an anti-cyclone weather pattern (it did the same thing a few times in the Pacific).
For those who are interested, here is what can be done with a single block of JT9 telemetry which, if received on it's own, will not update the tracking map. A JT9 #2 telemetry block was received by "the server" from ZS6AF at 19:51 UTC ... ZS6AF | KG54km | 1951 -22 -1.2 1007 @ 230305YV5GW82 No one received the #1 block at 19:50 UTC so the tracking web page map was not updated, but useful information can be derived by breaking up the block into its lat/long/alt/debug components and converting from base-42. We get ...
2303 in base-42 = 153471 ... 180 - 153.471 = 26.529 ... -26.529 lat
05YV in base 42 = 10279 ... 10.279 degrees long
5GW in base-42 = 9524 ... 9524m ASL
The last two characters 82 are displayed in a different manner on the tracking map web page (a conversion from HEX but of interest to Andy VK3YT only)
The tracking web page information for the last full JT9 string (JT9 #1 block plus JT9 #2 block received in consecutive minutes) as received by ZS6DX at 15:30 and 15:31 UTC shows ...

The position at that time was -26.862 South latitude and 11.11 East longitude. The new information from the JT9 #2 block from ZS6AF at 19:51 UTC shows the balloon has moved slightly to the north and west. This is in keeping with the current weather pattern ...
... an anticyclone off the coast of Namibia producing a NW air flow in the region of the balloon. (Note this is a simulated surface air pressure map so it may not always replicate the actual air flow at the balloon's 9524m altitude, but it gives an idea of what to expect in lieu of a NOAA trajectory prediction).
