Sonde tracked from recovery spot to home #288

Hi there, I recovered V0921235. Oddly...I checked it before I left the area and it was not flashing. But then a friend mentioned that there is a path from the recovery location to my house. I'm not sure why. But I would think that once a radiosonde is recovered, it shouldn't be tracked anymore.

Is is possible for someone to erase the track from the recovery location to my house in Fremont?

Thanks, Steve

RS41s do not flash their LEDs once launched, this is expected behaviour. It would have still been transmitting once picked up, and if there was a receiver in range (perhaps your own?) then it will be received and uploaded to SondeHub. You need to turn them off by holding down the power button, then verifying power-off with a local receiver.

As a rule, we don't delete data from the SondeHub database.
